submitted 11 years ago by Pub. L. 114-26 to r/title-19-CUSTOMS-DUTIES · 183 words · no verdicts yet
This section states that United States, state, and local law prevails over conflicting provisions of certain trade agreements. It preserves the power to change domestic law and makes dispute-settlement reports nonbinding.
(a) A provision of a section 4202(b) trade agreement, or its application to a person or circumstance, has no effect if it conflicts with United States, state, or local law. (b) Such an agreement cannot stop the United States, a State, or a locality from amending or changing its own law. (c) Reports, findings, and recommendations from dispute-settlement panels under such an agreement do not bind United States law, the United States Government, or the law or government of a State or locality.
No provision of any trade agreement entered into under section 4202(b) of this title, nor the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance, that is inconsistent with any law of the United States, any State of the United States, or any locality of the United States shall have effect.
No provision of any trade agreement entered into under section 4202(b) of this title shall prevent the United States, any State of the United States, or any locality of the United States from amending or modifying any law of the United States, that State, or that locality (as the case may be).
Reports, including findings and recommendations, issued by dispute settlement panels convened pursuant to any trade agreement entered into under section 4202(b) of this title shall have no binding effect on the law of the United States, the Government of the United States, or the law or government of any State or locality of the United States.
