§3109 — Title 19 Customs Duties | U.S. Code

Summary

The Federal Communications Commission must regularly send the House and Senate committees the data it collected and made public under Report No. DC–1105 (adopted February 25, 1988) that relates to FCC Docket No. 86–494 (adopted December 23, 1987). Any foreign product that needs FCC registration or approval can only enter U.S. customs if it meets all FCC rules and the importer gives the customs officer the information required on FCC Form 740 as of August 23, 1988, in the form the Secretary of the Treasury requires. "Entered" means brought into U.S. customs territory or withdrawn from a warehouse for consumption. The FCC, the Secretary of Commerce, and the Trade Representative must help the Treasury enforce this. The Secretary of the Treasury must make an annual summary of the Form 740 data, send it to Congress each year until the authority to negotiate trade agreements under chapter 17 expires, and make the summary public.
