Taking into consideration both alternatives to provide the importer attempts to import products from abroad with the possibility that these do not meet the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA) should be sought provide the importer to receive a certification of foreign products by any agency of the Government to concerning this situation. There is, an option to improve the import of products or equipment for the small and large business does not incur a form of pattern to continue importing products that do not meet the requirements of the EPCA all importers staff and marketing departments must receive certified trainings on purchasing goods and equipments imported to US (including alternates products or equipment that comply with the law). This certified training to importers provides a way to get a product of satisfaction in their sales expectations and will minimize the impact to small businesses in loss and expenses costs paid by them like liquidate damages, shipping and handling invest, disposal of products and probably fees paid to the government agencies concerns. Relevant agencies have identified such small businesses that import these kinds of products or equipments they should be the targets for this particular training. As for the limited time that the importer has to find a way to validate the label of the products a term of 30 days from the creation of the report, would be prudent to grant a wider time so that the importer has the opportunity to resolve the problem. I understand that in foreign countries there are many products and equipments that despite not meeting the EPCA are very efficient for customer consumption. In our governmental system buyers receive such training accompanied by catalogs and the description of such products and equipments with the required information given the buyers a great alternative to identify what, where, and which products or equipments either locals or non-locals satisfy and comply by law.
