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.
