Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States and follows U.S. federal laws and regulations, including those from agencies like the FDA, FCC, EPA, and CPSC. Guam does not have its own independent product compliance system; instead, it adopts and enforces U.S. standards across all regulated goods.


Key Authorities:

  • Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) – Regulates food safety, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and health products locally.

  • U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – Oversees compliance for food, drugs, cosmetics, and medical devices.

  • U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) – Handles general consumer product safety and recalls.

  • Federal Communications Commission (FCC) – Manages type approval for telecom and RF devices.

  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – Regulates chemical substances, pesticides, and environmental labeling.

  • Guam Customs and Quarantine Agency – Ensures all imports meet applicable U.S. standards and inspects goods for compliance.


Key Compliance Elements:

  • Federal Standards: All products must comply with relevant U.S. federal regulations. This includes FDA registration, FCC certification, UL/NRTL marks, and EPA requirements where applicable.

  • Product Registration: Required for medical devices, food facilities, OTC drugs, and dietary supplements via the FDA. Guam defers to the U.S. federal registration process.

  • Labeling Requirements: Products must be labeled in English and meet all applicable federal labeling rules (e.g., nutrition facts, ingredient declarations, hazard warnings).

  • Import Control: Customs inspections may involve review of certificates of origin, safety data, and federal compliance documentation. Guam enforces all relevant U.S. import restrictions.
