TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
CHAPTER 21--NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE
SUBCHAPTER II--CUSTOMS PROVISIONS
Sec. 3335. Monitoring of television and picture tube imports
(a) Monitoring
Beginning on the date the Agreement enters into force with respect
to the United States, the United States Customs Service shall, for a
period of 5 years, monitor imports into the United States of articles
described in subheading 8528.10 of the HTS from NAFTA countries and
shall take action to exercise all rights of the United States under
chapter 5 of the Agreement with respect to such imports. The United
States Customs Service shall take appropriate action under chapter 5 of
the Agreement with respect to such imports, including verifications to
ensure that the rules of origin under the Agreement are fully complied
with and that the duty drawback obligations contained in article 303 and
Annex 303.8 of the Agreement are fully implemented and duties are
correctly assessed.
(b) Report to Trade Representative
The United States Customs Service shall make the results of the
monitoring and verification required by subsection (a) of this section
available to the President and the Trade Representative. If, based on
such information, the President has reason to believe that articles
described in subheading 8540.11 of the HTS, intended for ultimate
consumption in the United States, are entering the territory of a NAFTA
country inconsistent with the provisions of the Agreement, or have been
undervalued in a manner that may raise concerns under United States
trade laws, the President shall promptly take such action as may be
appropriate under all relevant provisions of the Agreement, including
article 317 and chapter 20, and under applicable United States trade
statutes.
