Removal of Cambodia and Vietnam From List of ``Non-Entrant'' Countries

Riepilogo

On January 3, 1992, the United States lifted the trade embargo against Cambodia, normalizing economic relations between the United States and Cambodia. On February 3, 1994, President Clinton lifted the trade embargo against Vietnam. Effective April 27, 1995, the National Security Council amended its policy toward Cambodia and Vietnam by removing them from the ``non-entrant'' ``Category II'' status and placing them in the ``Category I'' status of vessels that may enter U. S. ports subject to certain limitations. This document amends footnote 3a of section 4.20 of the Customs Regulations to remove Cambodia and Vietnam from the list of ``non- entrant'' countries so that foreign vessels entering the United States from these countries are now subject to a lesser special tonnage tax assessment.
