  Subpart E--The Labeling of Products Using Ozone-Depleting Substances
 
Sec. 82.114  Compliance by manufacturers and importers with requirements for labeling of containers of controlled substances, or products containing controlled 
          substances.

    (a) Compliance by manufacturers and importers with requirements for 
labeling of containers of controlled substances, or products containing 
controlled substances. Each manufacturer of a product incorporating 
another product or container containing a controlled substance, to which 
Sec. 82.102 (a)(1), or, (a)(2) or (b)(1) applies, that is purchased or 
obtained from another manufacturer or supplier, is required to pass 
through and incorporate the labeling information that accompanies such 
incorporated product in a warning statement accompanying the 
manufacturer's finished product. Each importer of a product, or 
container containing a controlled substance, to which Sec. 82.102 
(a)(1), (a)(2), or (b)(1) applies, including a component product or 
container incorporated into the product, that is purchased from a 
foreign manufacturer or supplier, is required to apply a label, or to 
ensure that a label has been properly applied, at the site of U.S. 
Customs clearance.
    (b) Reliance on reasonable belief. The manufacturer or importer of a 
product that incorporates another product container from another 
manufacturer or supplier may rely on the labeling information (or lack 
thereof) that it receives with the product, and is not required to 
independently investigate whether the requirements of this subpart are 
applicable to such purchased product or container, as long as the 
manufacturer reasonably believes that the supplier or foreign 
manufacturer is reliably and accurately complying with the requirements 
of this subpart.
    (c) Contractual obligations. A manufacturer's or importer's 
contractual relationship with its supplier under which the supplier is 
required to accurately label, consistent with the requirements of this 
subpart, any products containing a controlled substance or containers of 
a controlled substance that are supplied to the manufacturer or 
importer, is evidence of reasonable belief.
