Foreign Customs Law

Meaning

Foreign Customs Law encompasses the body of regulations, statutes, and administrative procedures enacted by a non-domestic government that govern the importation, exportation, and transit of goods across its national borders. These laws specify requirements for tariffs, duties, import licenses, quotas, and the documentation necessary for clearance. For entities operating in the hormonal health and wellness space, adherence to these laws is mandatory when shipping products internationally, particularly for controlled substances like certain hormones or peptides. Failure to comply can result in product seizure, significant financial penalties, and criminal charges.
