This document amends Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
regulations to reflect the extension of import restrictions on certain
categories of archaeological material from the Pre-Columbian cultures
of the Republic of Honduras (Honduras) that were imposed by CBP
Decision (Dec.) 04-08 and expire on March 12, 2009. The Assistant
Secretary for Educational and Cultural Affairs, United States
Department of State, has determined that conditions continue to warrant
the imposition of import restrictions. Accordingly, these import
restrictions will remain in effect for an additional 5 years, and the
CBP regulations are being amended to reflect this extension until March
12, 2013. These restrictions are being extended pursuant to
determinations of the United States Department of State made under the
terms of the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act in
accordance with the 1970 United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Convention on the Means of Prohibiting
and Preventing the Illicit Import, Export and Transfer of Ownership of
Cultural Property. CBP Dec. 04-08 contains the Designated List of
archaeological material that describes the articles to which the
restrictions apply.
