Issue Brief

1. A drug manufactured in the U.S., then exported abroad, can be imported back into the U.S. under two circumstances: 1) by the HHS Secretary for emergency medical purposes; and 2) by the original manufacturer of the drug. A manufacturer may choose to do this in a situation where a drug has been recalled or damaged or for other standard inventory control practices.
