Certain international-organization privileges, exemptions, and immunities can be extended to Hong Kong's Economic and Trade Offices in the United States, the same way they can be extended to other public international organizations the U.S. participates in. The President can also apply a specific international tax agreement to these offices. The section defines "Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices" as Hong Kong's official trade missions in the U.S.
The provisions of the International Organizations Immunities Act (22 U.S.C. 288 et seq.) may be extended to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices in the same manner, to the same extent, and subject to the same conditions as such provisions may be extended to a public international organization* in which the United States participates pursuant to any treaty or under the authority of any Act of Congress authorizing such participation or making an appropriation for such participation.
The President is authorized to apply the provisions of Article I of the Agreement on State and Local Taxation of Foreign Employees of Public International Organizations, done at Washington on April 21, 1994, to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices.
The term “Hong Kong Economic and Trade Offices” refers to Hong Kong’s official economic and trade missions in the United States.
