50 U.S.C. § 98h–4 — Importation of strategic and critical ma­terials

submitted 87 years ago by Pub. L. 92-156 to r/title-50-WAR-AND-NATIONAL-DEFENSE · 98 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The President can't ban or restrict importing a material the government has labeled strategic and critical, as long as it comes from a country not on a specific tariff-schedule exclusion list — unless some other law already bans importing that kind of material from listed countries.

The President cannot prohibit or regulate importing into the United States any material that's been determined to be strategic and critical under this subchapter — but only if that material comes from a foreign country or area that is not listed in general note 3(b) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States. This protection lasts only as long as importing that same kind of material from a country or area that is listed in that general note remains legal — that is, not banned by any other law.

The President may not prohibit or regulate the importation into the United States of any material determined to be strategic and critical pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter, if such material is the product of any foreign country or area not listed in general note 3(b) of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (19 U.S.C. 1202), for so long as the importation into the United States of material of that kind which is the product of a country or area listed in such general note is not prohibited by any provision of law.
