Abstract: On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the Tobacco Control Act) (Public Law 111-31) into law. The Tobacco Control Act amended the Federal, Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) by adding a new chapter granting the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) important new authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of tobacco products to protect the public health generally and to reduce tobacco use by minors. With the passage of the Tobacco Control Act, section 801 of the FD&C Act was amended to add tobacco products to the inventory of FDA-regulated products. The new section 801 charges the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the FDA, with the responsibility of assuring foreign origin FDA regulated foods, drugs, cosmetics, medical devices, radiological health, and tobacco products offered for import into the United States meet the same requirements of the act as do domestic products, and for preventing products from entering the country if they are not in compliance. The discharge of this responsibility involves close coordination and cooperation between FDA headquarters and field inspectional personnel and the U.S. Customs Service (USCS), as the USCS is responsible for enforcing the revenue laws covering the very same products.
