Title 3--
The President
                Memorandum of August 2, 1994

 

Imposition of Prohibitions Pursuant to Section 
                8(a)(4) of the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967, as 
                Amended

                Memorandum for the Secretary of the Treasury

                Pursuant to the authority vested in me by the 
                Constitution and under section 8(a)(4) of the 
                Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967, as amended (22 
                U.S.C. 1978(a)(4)), I decided on April 11, 1994, to 
                prohibit the bringing or importation into the United 
                States of fish and wildlife products of Taiwan. I 
                hereby direct you, in consultation with the Secretary 
                of the Interior, to prohibit the importation of fish or 
                wildlife, as defined in 16 U.S.C. 3371 and 50 CFR 
                10.12, and their parts and products, of Taiwan to 
                which, but for these prohibitions, the import 
                declaration requirements in 50 CFR 14.61 would apply. 
                These prohibitions do not apply to those articles 
                described in 50 CFR 14.62, which are excepted from the 
                import declaration requirements. The prohibited 
                articles include but are not limited to: (a) reptile 
                leather shoes, handbags, and other reptile leather 
                articles and products; (b) jewelry made from coral, 
                mussel shells, and bone; (c) edible frogs' legs; (d) 
                live goldfish and tropical fish for the aquarium trade; 
                and (e) bird feathers, down, and specimens. These 
                import prohibitions shall apply to fish or wildlife and 
                their parts and products as described above that are 
                exported to the United States after 10 days from the 
                date of the publication of this memorandum and shall 
                remain in effect until such time as I determine.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                memorandum in the Federal Register.

                    (Presidential Sig.)>


                THE WHITE HOUSE,

                    Washington, August 2, 1994.
