            with the Secretary of Commerce, taking into account both

                            I. INTRODUCTION

                         A. Purpose and Summary

    The provisions in H.R. 4342, the Miscellaneous Trade and 
Technical Corrections Act of 1988, fall into two titles. The 
first title includes two provisions which would make clerical 
corrections to the trade laws, remedying errors made as the 
trade laws were amended and updating antiquated references to 
the GATT.
    The second title of H.R. 4342, the Miscellaneous Trade and 
Technical Corrections Act of 1988, contains two subtitles. The 
first subtitle contains 112 various duty suspensions and tariff 
reductions. A large portion of the provisions in this section 
would temporarily suspend the duty on a variety of anti-HIV/
AIDS and anti-cancer drugs. Other provisions temporarily 
suspend the duties on a wide array of chemicals, including many 
organic pigments which are environmentally benign substitutes 
for pigments containing toxic heavy metals. The remainder of 
the other duty suspensions is an assortment of chemicals and 
miscellaneous equipment. The final provision in the first title 
would provide for duty-free treatment to all participants, and 
individuals associated with, the 1999 International Special 
Olympics, the 1999 Women's World Cup Soccer, the 2001 
International Special Olympics, the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter 
Olympics, and the 2002 Winter Para-Olympic Games.
    The second subtitle of Title II contains an array of 
miscellaneous trade provisions. One provision would extend 
trade benefits under the Production Incentive Certificate 
program to jewelry makers in the insular possessions of the 
United States. Another section defers the duty payments on 
large previously owned yachts imported for resale until the 
yacht is actually sold. Two other provisions include a 
reliquidation to correct an error made by the Customs Service 
and an exemption from five-year countervailing and antidumping 
duty order reviews on merchandise which originates in countries 
subject to an embargo. Other provisions in this subsection 
involve a variety of issues, including scientific instruments, 
finished petroleum derivatives, packaging material, NAFTA-
origin goods, and international travel merchandise.
    This package of trade bills has been thoroughly evaluated 
and commented on by all concerned parties, including the U.S. 
Customs Service, the Department of Commerce, the International 
Trade Commission, the United States Trade Representative, and 
firms which may be jeopardized by a tariff suspension on a 
product they produce domestically. The provisions in the bill 
are non-controversial and revenue neutral, and many will enable 
U.S. firms to produce goods in a more cost efficient manner.

                 B. Background and Need for Legislation

    As part of the ongoing process of identifying technical 
changes to improve the efficiency of the trade laws, a number 
of legislative proposals have been submitted to the 
Subcommittee on Trade by the Administration and the public for 
possible consideration. In addition, Members have introduced 
legislation to provide temporary suspensions of duty on 
specific products.
    On June 30, 1997, December 22, 1997, and March 26, 1998, 
Chairman Crane requested written comments from parties 
interested in miscellaneous trade proposals (No. Tr-10, No. Tr-
19, and No. Tr-23), technical corrections to trade laws, and 
temporary suspensions of duty for specific products. In 
response to these comments, the Trade Subcommittee prepared a 
bill, including only those provisions which were non-
controversial based on the public comments and Administration

                   Subtitle B--Other Trade Provisions

     1. Sec. 2501. Extension of certain trade benefits of insular 
        possessions of the United States to certain fine jewelry

Present law

    Note 5 in Chapter 91 of the HTS currently allows producers 
of watches located in the U.S. insular possessions to benefit 
from the Production Incentive Certificate (PIC) system, which 
currently allows watch producers to import specified quantities 
of watches, watch movements, and some watch components duty 
free and to claim duty refunds for watches, watch movements, 
and watch parts.

Explanation of provision

    This provision would amend the HTS to extend to certain 
fine jewelry the same trade benefits enjoyed by watch makers in 
U.S. insular possessions under the PIC program.

Reason for change

    The provision would allow jewelry producers (assemblers) in 
the U.S. insular possessions to take advantage of the 
production incentives that have been granted to watch producers 
since 1983. Jewelry and watch producers and assemblers would 
share the benefits that already exist; the provision would not 
increase or decrease benefits already in effect or alter 
quantitative limits on imports. Watch producers would not 
experience a reduction in their benefits. Instead, jewelry 
producers would be able to take advantage of unused 
certificates and unfilled import quantities available 
presumably after watch producers had made use of benefits 
available to them. In addition, watch producers could also 
produce jewelry under the program.

Effective date

    The provision applies with respect to goods entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the 15th 
day after the date of the enactment of this Act.

  2. SEC. 2502. Tariff treatment for certain components of scientific 
                       instruments and apparatus.

Present law

    Separate components of certain large scientific instruments 
or apparatus that are imported for assembly under those 
circumstances in which the instrument or apparatus, due to its 
size, cannot be imported in its assembled state, are subject to 
separate NTR duty rates, even though the larger scientific 
apparatus of which the components are a part would receive 
duty-free treatment, were they imported as part of a single, 
finished scientific instrument or apparatus.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would amend U.S. Note 6, subchapter X, 
chapter 98 of the HTS to clarify that separate components of 
certain large scientific instruments and apparatus would be 
provided the same tariff treatment as those large scientific 
instruments and apparatus. The term ``instruments and 
apparatus'' under subheading 9810.00.60 would include separable 
components of an instrument or apparatus that are imported for 
assembly under those circumstances in which the instrument or 
apparatus, due to its size, cannot be imported in its assembled 
state. The provision also would amend the procedures by which 
the Secretaries of Treasury and Commercewould determine whether 
or not to grant such duty-free treatment.

Reason for change

    The provision is needed to permit duty-free treatment for 
separate components of certain large scientific instruments or 
apparatus that are imported for assembly under circumstances in 
which the instrument, due to its size, cannot be imported in 
its assembled state, even though the larger scientific 
apparatus of which the components are a part would receive 
duty-free treatment, were they imported as part of a single, 
finished scientific instrument or apparatus.

Effective date

    The effective date shall be 120 days following enactment.

     3. Sec. 2503. Liquidation or reliquidation of certain entries

Present law

    Certain entries at the ports of Los Angeles and New Orleans 
in 1986 and 1987 were liquidated not in accordance with a 
Department of Commerce anti-dumping determination.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would provide for reliquidation of certain 
entries made at Los Angeles and New Orleans, in accordance with 
the final decision of the Department of Commerce for shipments 
entered between October 1, 1984, and December 14, 1987 (case 
number A-274-001).

Reason for change

    The provision would liquidate these entries in compliance 
with the Department of Commerce rulings.

Effective date

    The provision shall apply as of the date of the enactment 
of this Act.

         4. SEC. 2504. Finished petroleum derivatives drawback

Present law

    Section 313(p)(2)(A)(iv) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 
U.S.C. 1313(p)(2)(A)(iv)) provides for substitution drawback 
for finished petroleum derivatives.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would require the Secretary of the Treasury 
to convene a working group of interested parties and, not later 
than March 31, 1998, publish regulations and, if necessary, 
submit legislation to the Congress, to modify and simplify the 
processing of finished petroleum derivatives drawback claims.

Reason for change

    Section 313 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1313) was 
amended by the North American Free Trade Agreements (NAFTA) 
Implementation Act [P.L. 103-182] to provide special accounting 
and attribution rules for drawback on petroleum products. The 
provision was intended to allow the petroleum industry to 
account for selected petroleum products on a quantitative 
basis, relieving Customs and industry of the problem of 
``tracking molecules'' for the attribution of drawback. 
However, Customs' interpretation of 19 U.S.C. 1313(p)(2)(a)(iv) 
requires companies to track delivery of the actual imported 
petroleum in possession of the exporter. As such, companies are 
required to ``track molecules.'' The proposed amendment would 
require the Secretary of the Treasury to convene a working 
group of interested parties and, not later than March 31, 1998 
publish regulations and, if necessary, submit legislation to 
the Congress, to modify and simplify the processing of finished 
petroleum derivatives drawback claims. The Committee believes 
that the working group should seek to fulfill the original 
intent of the Customs Modernization Act that selected petroleum 
products should be tracked on a quantitative basis for purposes 
of substitution drawback.

Effective date

     The provision would be effective as of the date of 
enactment.

        5. SEC. 2505. Drawback and refund of packaging material

Present law

    Section 313 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1313) was 
amended by the North American Free Trade Agreement 
Implementation Act [P.L. 103-182] to insert a new subsection 
(q) allowing drawback of packaging materials, where the 
packaging is ``used'' by filling prior to exportation.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would amend section 313(q) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1313(q)) by inserting a new paragraph for 
drawback-eligible packaging material filled prior to 
exportation. The provision would state that packaging materials 
produced in the United States, which are used by the 
manufacturer or any other person for articles which are 
exported or destroyed, would be eligible for a drawback refund 
of 99 percent of any duty, tax, or fee imposed on the 
importation of materials used to manufacture the packaging 
materials.

Reason for change

    Under current law, individuals are ineligible to receive 
drawback on packaging materials used on items which are 
subsequently exported. The amendment would permit drawback on 
packaging materials used by a person other than the 
manufacturer of the container.

Effective date

    The provision would be effective as it applies to goods 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or 
after the 15th day after the date of enactment.

  6. SEC. 2506. Inclusion of commercial importation data from foreign-
       trade zones under the national customs automation program

Present law

    Section 411 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1411) 
established the National Customs Automation Program (NCAP), 
including a program for the automation of electronic filing.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would amend section 411 of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1411) relating to the NCAP, to require Customs 
to provide, no later than January 1, 1999, for the inclusion 
under the program of commercial importation data from foreign 
trade zones.

Reason for change

    Customs has not developed a system for the automation of 
electronic filing of importation data from foreign-trade zones. 
The provision would establish a deadline for the development 
and implementation of such a system.

Effective date

    The provision would be effective as of the date of 
enactment.

  7. Sec. 2507. Large yachts imported for sale at United States boat 
                                 shows

Present law

    The Tariff Act of 1930 requires that large yachts be 
subject to the NTR duty rate of 1.5% at the time of 
importation, as specified in subheading 8903.92.00 of the HTS.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would amend the Tariff Act of 1930 by 
inserting a new section 484b to provide that large previously 
owned yachts which would otherwise be dutiable, may be imported 
without the payment of duty if imported with the intention to 
offer for sale at a boat show in theU.S. Payment of duty would 
be deferred until such a large yacht is sold, not to exceed a period of 
six months.

Reason for change

    The provision would remove the disincentives under the 
current law which frequently discourage the sale of large 
previously owned yachts domestically by requiring the duty to 
be paid at the time of importation, whether the yacht is 
eventually sold or not. Removing the disincentives would allow 
for more large vessel sales, which could pump tens of thousands 
of dollars into local economies because of related expenditures 
such as the cost of a supporting crew, docking fees, boat 
repairs, and supplies.

Effective date

    The provision shall apply with respect to a large yacht 
entered into the United States after the date that is 15 days 
after the date of enactment of this Act.

 8. SEC. 2508. Review of protests against decisions of customs service

Present law

    Section 515(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1515(a)) provides for administrative review of protests against 
decisions by the Customs Service.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would amend section 515(a) of the Tariff Act 
of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1515(a)) to provide that, within 30 days 
from the date an application for further review is filed, the 
appropriate Customs officer shall allow or deny the application 
and, if allowed, forward the protest to the Customs officer who 
will be conducting the further review.

Reason for change

    The provision would require timely processing by Customs 
officers of applications for further review, thus facilitating 
trade.

Effective date

    The provision would apply with respect to applications for 
further review filed on or after the date of enactment.

              9. SEC. 2509. Entries of nafta-origin goods

Present law

    Section 520(d) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1520(d)), outlines the statutory authority by which a good 
qualifies for a NAFTA preference under the NAFTA rules of 
origin. Under the NAFTA Implementation Act [P.L. 103-182], 
merchandise processing fees (MPFs) are not imposed on goods 
originating in NAFTA countries. To claim a NAFTA preference, an 
importer must provide a valid certificate of origin. Importers 
often pay duties and the MPF on a good they know is NAFTA-
eligible, with the expectation that the MPF will be refunded 
later as an excess duty when NAFTA-eligibility is proven. 
However, Customs has taken the position that MPFs are not 
refundable excess duties under section 520(d).
    Section 514(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1514(a)) outlines the statutory authority for filing protests 
against decisions of the Customs Service relating to claims for 
a NAFTA preference. An importer may not claim a NAFTA 
preference before receiving a valid certificate of origin 
issued by the exporter. Many importers do not have a 
certificate of origin at the time goods are entered, and 
subsequently file post-entry claims when a valid certificate of 
origin is received. If the entry is liquidated before receiving 
a certificate of origin, importers generally protest the 
liquidation under section 514. However, this action prevents 
the liquidation from becoming final before the valid NAFTA-
eligibility claim is made. Customs has taken the position that 
protests under section 514 are inapplicable to NAFTA claims, 
and that such claims must be filed under section 520(d) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 within one year from the date of entry.

Explanation of provision

    Section (a) of this provision would amend section 520(d) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1520(d)) to clarify that MPFs 
may be refunded along with excess duties if NAFTA-eligibility 
is proven.
    Section (b) of this provision would amend section 514(a) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1514(a)) to ensure that if an 
importer is entitled to a NAFTA preference, there is a method 
for obtaining a refund of the duties paid at the time of entry.
    The provision would clarify that importers may use the 
protest procedure under section 514.

Reason for change

    Section (a) of this provision is necessary to clarify that 
MPFs may be refunded along with excess duties if NAFTA-
eligibility is proven. Section (b) of this provision is 
necessary to ensure that if an importer is entitled to a NAFTA 
preference, there is a method for obtaining a refund of the 
duties paid at the time of entry.
    The provision is also necessary to clarify that importers 
may use the protest procedure under section 514. Both of these 
provisions would facilitate NAFTA trade.

Effective date

    The provision would be effective as it applies to goods 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or 
after the 15th day after the date of enactment.

 10. SEC. 2510. Treatment of international travel merchandise held at 
                     customs-approved storage rooms

Present law

    Section 557(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 
1557(a)(1)) authorizes entry of dutiable merchandise in 
Customs-approved bonded warehouses and requires its withdrawal 
within 5 years for consumption upon payment of duties or for 
exportation.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would amend section 557(a)(1) of the Tariff 
Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1557(a)(1)) to include International 
Travel Merchandise (ITM) among the merchandise which may be 
retained in a bonded warehouse for 5 years from the date of 
importation, thereby replacing the Customs Approved Storage 
Room (CASR) concept.

Reason for change

    International Travel Merchandise (ITM) consists of in-
flight merchandise sold on board international air carriers 
after departure from U.S. Customs territory. Presently, ITM is 
imported into the United States under bond and moved to CASRs, 
where merchandise is stored, repackaged and under Customs 
supervision. A Customs regulation applies a six-month limit to 
goods placed in CASRs. The amendment would apply the same 5-
year time limit to ITM as currently applies to merchandise in 
bonded warehouses. This change would make ITM appropriate for 
storage in a bonded warehouse for up to five years, replacing 
the CASR concept.
    The Committee's intent is to recognize that ITM operations 
are not duty-free enterprises, subject to section 1555(b) of 
the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1555(b)), but wholly unique 
business enterprise. The Committee intends that Customs 
provide, through regulations, for the application of the 
benefits, privileges, and responsibilities of other classes of 
bonded warehouses in a new ``Class X'' category, which 
recognizes the unique features of ITM operations.

Effective date

    The provision would be effective as it applies to goods 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or 
after the 15th day after the date of enactment.

 11. Sec. 2511. Exception to 5-year reviews of countervailing duty or 
                        antidumping duty orders

Present law

    Section 751(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930 maintains that 
five year reviews of countervailing duty or antidumping duty 
orders must be conducted and does not exclude merchandise 
prohibited from importation into the United States because of 
trade sanctions imposed against the country in which the 
merchandise originates.

Explanation of provision

    The provision would provide that five-year reviews of 
countervailing duty or antidumping duty orders would not be 
conducted if the merchandise subject to the orders was 
prohibited from importation into the United States because of 
trade sanctions imposed against the country in which the 
merchandise originates, by amending section 751(c) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1675(c)).

Reason for change

    This provision will ensure that sunset reviews are not used 
inappropriately in those limited circumstances in which imports 
of the subject merchandise have been banned by an embargo.

Effective date

    This provision shall apply as of the date of the enactment 
of this Act.

                       III. VOTE OF THE COMMITTEE

    In compliance with clause 2(l)(2)(B) of the Rules of the

                     IV. BUDGET EFFECTS OF THE BILL

               A. Committee Estimate on Budgetary Effects

    In compliance with clause 7(a) of rule XIII of the Rules of

    B. Statement Regarding New Budget Authority and Tax Expenditures

    In compliance with subdivision (B) of clause 2(l)(3) of 
rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the 
Committee states that the provisions of H.R. 4342, do not 
involve any new budget authority, or any increase or decrease 
in revenues or tax expenditures.

      C. Cost Estimate Prepared by the Congressional Budget Office

    In compliance with subdivision (C) of clause 2(l)(3) of 
rule XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, requiring 
a cost estimate prepared by the Congressional Budget Office, 
the following report prepared by CBO is provided:

                                     U.S. Congress,
                               Congressional Budget Office,
                                     Washington, DC, July 31, 1998.
Hon. Bill Archer,
Chairman, Committee on Ways and Means,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
prepared the enclosed cost estimate for H.R. 4342, The 
Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Correction Act of 1998.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Hester 
Grippando.
            Sincerely,
                                              James L. Blum
                                   (For June E. O'Neill, Director).
    Enclosure.

H.R. 4342--Miscellaneous Trade and Technical Correction Act of 1998

    H.R. 4342 would make technical corrections and 
miscellaneous amendments to certain trade laws. Title I 
clarifies existing statutes of the United States Customs code. 
Title II creates temporary duty suspensions on certain 
intermediary products and chemicals imported into the United 
States. CBO estimates that each of these provisions would 
reduce government revenues by less than $500,000 each year. 
Therefore, none of the provisions would have a significant 
impact on the budget. Because enacting H.R. 4342 would affect 
receipts, pay-as-you-go procedures would apply.
    Section 252 of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit 
Control Act sets up pay-as-you-go procedures for legislation 
affecting direct spending or receipts. The net changes in 
outlays and governmental receipts that are subject to pay-as-
you-go procedures are shown in the following table. For the 
purposes of enforcing pay-as-you-go procedures, only the 
effects in the current year, the budget year, and the 
succeeding four years are counted.

                                    [By fiscal year, in millions of dollars]

    The proposed legislation contains no intergovernmental or 
private sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates 
Reform Act of 1995, and would impose no costs on state, local 
or tribunal governments.
    This estimate was prepared by Hester Grippando (revenues), 
Pepper Santalucia (impact on state, local and tribal 
governments), and Lesley Frymier (impact on the private 
sector).
    This estimate was approved by Frank Sammartino, Assistant 
Director for Tax Analysis.

     V. OTHER MATTERS TO BE DISCUSSED UNDER THE RULES OF THE HOUSE

          A. Committee Oversight Findings and Recommendations

    With respect to subdivision (A) of clause 2(l)(3) of rule 
XI of the rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee 
concludes that the actions taken in this legislation are 
appropriate given its oversight of international trade and 
Customs matters.

    B. Summary of Findings and Recommendations of the Committee on 
                    Government Reform and Oversight

    With respect to subdivision (D) of clause 2(l)(3) of rule 
XI of the Rules of the House of Representatives, the Committee 
states that no oversight findings or recommendations have been 
submitted to the Committee by the Committee on Government 
Reform and Oversight with respect to the subject matter 
contained in H.R. 4342.

                 C. Constitutional Authority Statement

    With respect to clause 2(l)(4) of rule XI of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, relating to Constitutional 
Authority, the Committee states that the Committee's action in 
reporting the bill is derived from Article 1 of the 
Constitution, Section 8 (``The Congress shall have power to lay 
and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the 
debts and to provide for * * * the general Welfare of the 
United States * * *).

  (e) For purposes of this section--
          (1) * * *
          (2)(A) Market disruption exists within a domestic 
        industry whenever imports of an article, like or 
        directly competitive with an article produced by such 
        domestic industry, are increasing rapidly, either 
        absolutely or relatively, so as to be a significant 
        cause of material injury, or threat thereof, to such 
        domestic industry.
          (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A):
                  (i) Imports of an article shall be considered 
                to be increasing rapidly if there has been a 
                significant increase in such imports (either 
                actual or relative to domestic production) 
                during a recent period of time.
                  (ii) The term ``significant cause'' refers to 
                a cause which contributes significantly to the 
                material injury of the domestic industry, but 
                need not be equal to or greater than any other 
                cause.
          (C) The Commission, in determining whether market 
        disruption exists, shall consider, among other 
        factors--
                  (i) the volume of imports of the merchandise 
                which is the subject of the investigation;
                  (ii) the effect of imports of the merchandise 
                on prices in the for like or directly 
                competitive articles;
                  (iii) the impact of imports of such 
                merchandise on domestic producers of like or 
                directly competitive articles; and
                  (iv) evidence of disruptive pricing 
                practices, or other efforts to unfairly manage 
                trade patterns.

                          ACT OF JUNE 18, 1934

       (Commonly referred to as the ``Foreign Trade Zones Act'')

foreign-trade zones in ports of entry of the United States, to expedite 
and encourage foreign commerce, and for other purposes.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


  Sec. 3. (a) Foreign and domestic merchandise of every 
description, except such as is prohibited by law, may, without 
being subject to the customs laws of the United States, except 
as otherwise provided in this Act, be brought into a zone and 
may be stored, sold, exhibited, broken up, repacked, assembled, 
distributed, sorted, graded, cleaned, mixed with foreign or 
domestic merchandise, or otherwise manipulated, or be 
manufactured except as otherwise provided in this Act, and be 
exported, destroyed, or sent into customs territory of the 
United States therefrom, in the original packageor otherwise; 
but when foreign merchandise is so sent from a zone into customs 
territory of the United States it shall be subject to the laws and 
regulations of the United States affecting imported merchandise: 
Provided, That whenever the privilege shall be requested and there has 
been no manipulation or manufacture effecting a change in tariff 
classification, the appropriate customs officer shall take under 
supervision any lot or part of a lot of foreign merchandise in a zone, 
cause it to be appraised and taxes determined and duties liquidated 
thereon. Merchandise so taken under supervision may be stored, 
manipulated, or manufactured under the supervision and regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, and whether mixed or 
manufactured with domestic merchandise or not may, under regulations 
prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury, be exported or destroyed, 
or may be sent into customs territory upon the payment of such 
liquidated duties and determined taxes thereon. If merchandise so taken 
under supervision has been manipulated or manufactured, such duties and 
taxes shall be payable on the quantity of such foreign merchandise used 
in the manipulation or manufacture of the entered article. Allowance 
shall be made for recoverable and irrecoverable waste; and if 
recoverable waste is sent into customs territory, it shall be dutiable 
and taxable in its condition and quantity and at its weight at the time 
of entry. Where two or more products result from the manipulation or 
manufacture of merchandise in a zone the liquidated duties and 
determined taxes shall be distributed to the several products in 
accordance with their relative value at the time of separation with due 
allowance for waste as provided for above: Provided further, That 
subject to such regulations respecting identity and the safeguarding of 
the revenue as the Secretary of the Treasury may deem necessary, 
articles, the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States, on 
which all internal-revenue taxes have been paid, if subject thereto, 
and articles previously imported on which duty and/or tax has been 
paid, or which have been admitted free of duty and tax, may be taken 
into a zone from the customs territory of the United States, placed 
under the supervision of the appropriate customs officer, and whether 
or not they have been combined with or made part, while in such zone, 
of other articles, may be brought back thereto free of quotas, duty, or 
tax: Provided further, That if in the opinion of the Secretary of the 
Treasury their identity has been lost, such articles not entitled to 
free entry by reason of noncompliance with the requirements made 
hereunder by the Secretary of the Treasury shall be treated when they 
reenter customs territory of the United States as foreign merchandise 
under the provisions of the tariff and internal-revenue laws in force 
at that time: Provided further, That under the rules and regulations of 
the controlling Federal agencies, articles which have been taken into a 
zone from customs territory for the sole purpose of exportation, 
destruction (except destruction of distilled spirits, wines, and 
fermented malt liquors), or storage shall be considered to be exported 
for the purpose of--
          (1) the draw-back, warehousing, and bonding, or any 
        other provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, 
        and the regulations thereunder; and
          (2) the statutes and bonds exacted for the payment of 
        draw-back, refund, or exemption from liability for 
        internal-revenue taxes and for the purposes of the 
        internal-revenue laws generally and the regulations 
        thereunder.
Such a transfer may also be considered an exportation for the 
purposes of other Federal laws insofar as Federal agencies 
charged with the enforcement of those laws deem it advisable. 
Such articles may not be returned to customs territory for 
domestic consumption except where the Foreign-Trade Zones Board 
deems such return to be in the public interest, in which event 
the articles shall be subject to the provisions of paragraph 
1615(f) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended: Provided 
further, That no operation involving any foreign or domestic 
merchandise brought into a zone which operation would be 
subject to any provision or provisions of section 1807, chapter 
15, chapter 16, chapter 17, chapter 21, chapter 23, chapter 24, 
chapter 25, chapter 26, or chapter 32 of the Internal Revenue 
Code if performed in customs territory, or involving the 
manufacture of any article provided for in paragraph 367 or 
paragraph 368 of the Tariff Act of 1930, shall be permitted in 
a zone except those operations (other than rectification of 
distilled spirits and wines, or the manufacture or production 
of alcoholic products unfit for beverage purposes) which were 
permissible under this Act prior to July 1, 1949: Provided 
further, That articles produced or manufactured in a zone and 
exported therefrom shall on subsequent importation into the 
customs territory of the United States be subject to the import 
laws applicable to like articles manufactured in a foreign 
country, except that articles produced or manufactured in a 
zone exclusively with the use of domestic merchandise, the 
identity of which has been maintained in accordance with the 
second proviso of this section, may, on such importation, be 
entered as American goods returned: Provided further, That no 
merchandise that consists of goods subject to NAFTA drawback, 
as defined in section 203(a) of the North American Free Trade 
Agreement Implementation Act, that is manufactured or otherwise 
changed in condition shall be exported to a NAFTA country, as 
defined in section 2(4) of that Act, without an assessment of a 
duty on the merchandise in its condition and quantity, and at 
its weight, at the time of its exportation (or if the privilege 
in the first proviso to this subsection was requested, an 
assessment of a duty on the merchandise in its condition and 
quantity, and at its weight, at the time of its admission into 
the zone) and the payment of the assessed duty before the 61st 
day after the date of exportation of the article, except that 
upon the presentation, before such 61st day, of satisfactory 
evidence of the amount of any customs duties paid or owed to 
the NAFTA country on the article, the customs duty may be 
waived or reduced (subject to section 508(b)(2)(B) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930) in an amount that does not exceed the 
lesser of (1) the total amount of customs duties paid or owed 
on the merchandise on importation into the United States, or 
(2) the total amount of customs duties paid on the article to 
the NAFTA country: Provided further, That if Canada ceases to 
be a NAFTA country and the suspension of the operation of the 
United States-Canada Free-TradeAgreement thereafter terminates, 
with the exception of drawback eligible goods under section 204(a) of 
the United States-Canada Free-Trade Agreement Implementation Act of 
1988, no article manufactured or otherwise changed in condition (except 
a change by cleaning, testing or repacking) shall be exported to Canada 
during the period such Agreement is in operation without the payment of 
a duty that shall be payable on the article in its condition and 
quantity, and at its weight, at the time of its exportation to Canada 
unless the privilege in the first proviso to this subsection was 
requested.[.]

SEC. 484B. DEFERRAL OF DUTY ON LARGE YACHTS IMPORTED FOR SALE AT UNITED 
                    STATES BOAT SHOWS.

  (a) In General.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law, 
any vessel meeting the definition of a large yacht as provided 
in subsection (b) and which is otherwise dutiable may be 
imported without the payment of duty if imported with the 
intention to offer for sale at a boat show in the United 
States. Payment of duty shall be deferred, in accordance with

  (b) Definition.--As used in this section, the term ``large 
yacht'' means a vessel that exceeds 79 feet in length, is used 
primarily for recreation or pleasure, and has been previously 
sold by a manufacturer or dealer to a retail consumer.
  (c) Deferral of Duty.--At the time of importation of any 
large yacht, if such large yacht is imported for sale at a boat 
show in the United States and is otherwise dutiable, duties 
shall not be assessed and collected if the importer of record--
          (1) certifies to the Customs Service that the large 
        yacht is imported pursuant to this section for sale at 
        a boat show in the United States; and
          (2) posts a bond, which shall have a duration of 6 
        months after the date of importation, in an amount 
        equal to twice the amount of duty on the large yacht 
        that would otherwise be imposed under subheading 
        8903.91.00 or 8903.92.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 
        Schedule of the United States.
  (d) Procedures Upon Sale.--
          (1) Deposit of duty.--If any large yacht (which has 
        been imported for sale at a boat show in the United 
        States with the deferral of duties as provided in this 
        section) is sold within the 6-month period after 
        importation--
                  (A) entry shall be completed and duty 
                (calculated at the applicable rates provided 
                for under subheading 8903.91.00 or 8903.92.00 
                of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
                States and based upon the value of the large 
                yacht at the time of importation) shall be 
                deposited with the Customs Service; and.
                  (B) the bond posted as required by subsection 
                (c)(2) shall be returned to the importer.
  (e) Procedures Upon Expiration of Bond Period.--
          (1) In general.--If the large yacht entered with 
        deferral of duties is neither sold nor exported within 
        the 6-month period after importation--
                  (A) entry shall be completed and duty 
                (calculated at the applicable rates provided 
                for under subheading 8903.91.00 or 8903.92.00 
                of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
                States and based upon the value of the large 
                yacht at the time of importation) shall be 
                deposited with the Customs Service; and
                  (B) the bond posted as required by subsection 
                (c)(2) shall be returned to the importer.
          (2) Additional requirements.--No extensions of the 
        bond period shall be allowed. Any large yacht exported 
        in compliance with the bond period may not be reentered 
        for purposes of sale at a boat show in the United 
        States (in order to receive duty deferral benefits) for 
        a period of 3 months after such exportation.
  (f) Regulations.--The Secretary of the Treasury is authorized 
to make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to carry 
out the provisions of this section.

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *


SEC. 584. FALSITY OR LACK OF MANIFEST--PENALTIES.

  (a) General Rule.--(1) * * *
  (2) If any of such merchandise so found consists of heroin, 
morphine, or cocaine, isonipecaine, or opiate, the master of 
such vessel or person in charge of such vehicle or the owner of 
such vessel or vehicle or any person directly or indirectly 
responsible for heroin, morphine, cocaine; isonipecaine, or 
opiate being in such merchandise shall be liable to a penalty 
of $1,000 for each ounce thereof so found. If any of such 
merchandise so found consists of smoking opium, opium prepared 
for smoking, or marihuana, the master of such vessel or person 
in charge of such vehicle or the owner of such vessel or 
vehicle or any person directly or indirectly responsible for 
smoking opium, opium prepared for smoking, or marihuana being 
in such merchandise shall be liable to a penalty of $500 for 
each ounce thereof so found. If any of such merchandise so 
found consists of crude opium, the master of such vessel or 
person in charge of such vehicle or the owner of such vessel or 
vehicle or any person directly or indirectly responsible for 
crude opium being in such merchandise shall be liable to a 
penalty of $200 for each ounce thereof so found. Such penalties 
shall, notwithstanding the proviso in section 594 of this Act 
(relating to the immunity of vessels or vehicles used as common 
carriers), constitute a lien upon such vessel which may be 
enforced by a libel in rem; except that the master or owner of 
a vessel used by any person as a common carrier in the 
transaction of business as such common carrier shall not be 
liable to such penalties and the vessel shall not be held 
subject to the lien, if it appears to the satisfaction of the 
court that neither the master nor any of the officers 
(including licensed and unlicensed officers and petty officers) 
nor the owner of the vessel knew, and could not, by the 
exercise of the highest degree of care and diligence, have 
known, that such narcotic drugs were on board. Clearance of any 
such vessel may be withheld until such penalties are paid or 
until a bond, satisfactory to the Customs Service, is given for 
the payment thereof. The provisions of this paragraph shall not 
prevent the forfeiture of any such vessel or vehicle under any 
other provision of law. As used in this paragraph, the terms 
``opiate'' and ``marihuana'' shall have the same meaning given 
those terms by sections [102(17) and 102(15), respectively, of 
the Controlled Substances Act] 102(18) and 102(16), 
respectively, of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 
802(18) and 802(16)).
  (3) If any of such merchandise (sea stores excepted), the 
importation of which into the United States is prohibited, [or 
which consists of any spirits, wines, or other alcoholic 
liquors for the importation of which into the United States a 
certificate is required under section 7 of the Anti-Smuggling 
Act and the required certificate be not shown,] be so found 
upon any vessel not exceeding five hundred net tons, the vessel 
shall, in addition to any other penalties herein or by law 
provided, be seized and forfeited[, and, if any manifested 
merchandise (sea stores excepted) consisting of any such 
spirits, wines, or other alcoholic liquors be found upon any 
such vessel and the required certificate be not shown, the 
master of the vessel shall be liable to the penalty herein 
provided in the case of merchandise not duly manifested: 
Provided, That if the Customs Service shall be satisfied that 
the certificate required for the importation of any spirits, 
wines, or other alcoholic liquors was issued and was lost or 
mislaid without intentional fraud, or was defaced by accident, 
or is incorrect by reason of clerical error or other mistake, 
said penalties shall not be incurred.].

        (1) and the periods described in paragraph (6) any

        or other provision of law, of sanctions by the United 
        States against the country in which the subject 
        merchandise originates.
