§6a Conduct Involving Trade or Commerce with Foreign Nations

Summary

Most business actions that involve trade with other countries (but not imports) are not covered by the other rules in this part unless two things happen. First, the action must cause a clear, significant, and reasonably predictable effect either on U.S. (domestic) trade or import trade, or on the export trade of a person doing business in the United States. Second, that effect must let someone bring a claim under the other rules in this part (not this one). If the only reason the rules apply is that the action affects U.S. export business, then the rules cover only harm to export business in the United States.
