The second act, the law on legal accountability of foreign producers, was passed by the energy and Commerce Commission in July 21st.

The bill stipulates that the export of consumer goods to the United States must appoint a registered American agent. The registered agent must be an American permanent resident or a local enterprise, and authorize the agent to receive legal proceedings on behalf of the manufacturer in the civil proceedings of the state level and the federal court, otherwise the product is prohibited from entering the United States.

After registration, it means that the products of overseas manufacturers are also included in the jurisdiction of the United States. Once the quality problems arise, they will be held accountable for legal responsibility.
