NOTE: No resources may be imported in violation of conservation measures adopted by CCAMLR or U.S. regulations under 50 CFR Part 300, subparts A and G.

NMFS can only authorize imports of AMLR that are harvested by vessels licensed to fish AMLR by their flag states and that fish consistent with CCAMLR conservation measures that are in force with respect to the United States. Under AMLRCA section 306(3), 16 U.S.C. 2435(3) it is unlawful for any person to ship, transport, offer for sale, sell, purchase, import, export, or have custody, control of, any AMLR (or part thereof) which was harvested in violation of CCAMLR conservation measures in force with respect to the United States or in violation of any regulation promulgated under this title, without regard to the citizenship of the person that harvested, or vessel that was used in the harvesting of, the AMLR (or part or product thereof). This is in addition to making it unlawful to import without the necessary approvals and permits. Thus, this section applies to brokers and any other entity offering to sell AMLR, whether that entity is an importer of record or not, and whether the resource enters the U.S. market or an overseas market.
