§2114d Foreign Export Requirements; Consultations and Negotiations for Reduction and Elimination; Restrictions on and Exclusion From Entry of Products or Services; Savings Provision; Compensation Authority Applicable

Summary

The U.S. Trade Representative must try, with advice from the committee set up under section 1872, to get foreign countries or their agencies to reduce or remove export-performance rules that hurt the U.S. economy. If needed, the Trade Representative may also put duties or other limits on imports from that country or block products or services tied to those rules for as long as needed. Those import limits cannot apply to products or services when a U.S. person made a foreign direct investment (including buying land or facilities) before October 30, 1984, or had a written, binding commitment about such an investment on that date. If international obligations or these actions require payment, the Trade Representative may provide compensation under the limits in section 2133 for actions under section 2253.
