15 U.S.C. § 75 — Retaliation against country prohibiting importations

submitted 110 years ago by ch. 463 to r/title-15-COMMERCE-AND-TRADE · 110 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If another country bans imports of safe, harmless American products, the President can respond by banning imports of similar goods from that country. If the U.S. doesn't normally import similar goods from there, the President can ban other products from that country instead. The Treasury Secretary writes the rules to carry this out.

This section gives the President retaliatory power over trade. If any country, dependency, or colony bans the import of an American product — one made from U.S. soil or industry and not harmful to health or morals — the President may respond. For as long as that foreign ban stays in force, the President may prohibit the importation into the United States of similar articles from that country. If the U.S. does not import similar articles from that country in the first place, the President may instead prohibit other articles that are products of that country, dependency, or colony. The Secretary of the Treasury, with the President's approval, must make whatever rules and regulations are needed to carry this out.

Whenever any country, dependency, or colony shall prohibit the importation of any article the product of the soil or industry of the United States and not injurious to health or morals, the President shall have power to prohibit, during the period such prohibition is in force, the importation into the United States of similar articles, or in case the United States does not import similar articles from that country, then other articles, the products of such country, dependency, or colony.

And the Secretary of the Treasury, with the approval of the President, shall make such rules and regulations as are necessary for the execution of the provisions of this section.
