This law applies to goods regulated under sections 294 to 300. Once such goods reach a state and stay there, state law fully applies to them. Packaging the goods in original containers does not exempt them from state law.

This section covers merchandise regulated by sections 294 to 300 of this title. Once such goods are shipped into any state, territory, district, or U.S. possession and stay there for use, sale, or storage, the full body of that state's, territory's, district's, or possession's laws applies to them, upon arrival — the same way it would apply to goods that were made there. Shipping the goods in their original packaging, or in any other way, does not exempt them from those local laws.
