§2354 — Title 21 Food and Drugs | U.S. Code

Summary

Anyone who breaks, tries to break, plans to break, or causes a breach of this part or any rule, license, or order under it must face the same penalties that apply under subsections (b) and (c) of section 1705 of title 50. The President can waive these sanctions for a foreign person if it is in the national security interest of the United States. The rules do not apply to activities covered by the reporting rules in title V of the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 3091 et seq.) or to authorized U.S. intelligence activities. Sanctions also do not apply to an alien if admitting or paroling that person is needed to let the United States follow the Agreement regarding the Headquarters of the United Nations (signed June 26, 1947; entered into force November 21, 1947) or other international duties, or to help U.S. law enforcement. The President may not impose these sanctions on anyone for selling agricultural commodities, food, medicine, or medical devices or for providing humanitarian aid.
