Proposed Import Prohibitions on Wildlife Specimens and Products of Taiwan Pursuant to the Pelly Amendment; Request for Public Comment

概要

The President has determined to apply import prohibitions against Taiwan pursuant to section 8 of the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967 (22 U.S.C. 1978)(the ``Pelly Amendment'') in response to Taiwan's failure to undertake sufficient actions to stop illegal trade in internationally recognized endangered species. The President has proposed to apply the import prohibitions against wildlife specimens and products of Taiwan. The Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC) seeks public comment concerning the proposed action, in particular the specific product coverage of the import prohibitions.
