Panama has no
special regulations for labeling and marking. Labels are required
to have basic information regarding the name and address of the
manufacturer, expiration date, list of ingredients, lot number, and
the product form, e.g. powder, liquid, etc.
Labels in English are
accepted, except for medicines, household products and foods which
require special instructions. In these cases instructions regarding
dosage, usage, warnings, etc., must be in Spanish. All goods arriving
in Panama intended to be reexported immediately must be marked “PANAMA
IN TRANSIT” on each box or outside container. In general, products which
comply with U.S. labeling and marking requirements will also meet local
requirements and are suitable for sale in Panama.
