FACILITY AND MERCHANDISE AUTHORIZATION APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Attached is a sample Facility and Merchandise Authorization (“FAMA”) Application that must be completed for each Facility (as
defined below) that you plan to use for your business with The Walt Disney Company and/or an affiliate (collectively, “Disney”).
You must submit a separate FAMA Application in each geographic market in which you do business with Disney if you plan to use a
Facility in connection with your Disney work in that geographic market. Therefore, you will need to submit multiple FAMA
applications for a Facility if you work with Disney in multiple geographic markets. A list of the geographic markets is set forth in the
table below.
Please visit www.disneylaborstandards.com to access the most current electronic version of the FAMA Application form so
that you can complete a FAMA Application for each Facility you intend to use for your work in a geographic market.
Once a FAMA Application is completed in English, please send each completed application, together with any required
supporting documentation, to your designated Disney ILS Representative you have listed in Section 3 below by email.
Disney will review the information and determine whether to authorize the Facility to produce Disney-branded products (as
defined below).
DISNEY-BRANDED PRODUCTS MAY NOT BE PRODUCED OR HANDLED AT ANY FACILITY UNLESS AND
UNTIL YOU RECEIVE A SIGNED FAMA FROM DISNEY FOR SUCH FACILITY.
When your contract(s) are renewed, you should submit a new FAMA Application to your Disney ILS Representatives;
however, Disney may not issue a new signed FAMA if your previously issued signed FAMA is still valid.
You also may present the Disney-signed FAMA to Customs officials to facilitate the importation of properly authorized
Disney-branded products if the Facility is outside the territory where the goods are to be sold.
