No resources may be imported in violation of conservation and management measures adopted by CCAMLR and adopted by the United
States. Continuing measures and U.S. regulations implementing them appear in Volume 50, Part 300, Subpart G of the Code of Federal
Regulations. Annual measures are noticed in the Federal Register and are also available at CCAMLR website located at
http://www.ccamlr.org.
NOTE: The United States can only authorize imports of AMLR harvested by vessels licensed to fish by their flag states for AMLR and
fishing consistent with measures adopted by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources for the conservation
and management of the harvested species. No authorization to import will be granted for any product that has been harvested from FAO
statistical area 51 or 57.
The Antarctic Marine Living Resources Act of 1984 is the U.S. statutory authority for requiring import permits. In addition, it addresses the
activities of brokers and any U.S. entity in the market chain for Antarctic Marine Living Resources.
Section 306 (3) makes it unlawful to any person to ship, transport, offer for sale, sell, purchase, import, export, or have custody, control of,
any Antarctic Marine Living Resource (or part thereof) which he knows or reasonably should have known, was harvested in violation of
conservation measures in force with respect to the United States pursuant to Article IX of the Convention [i.e., CCAMLR] 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 Antarctic Marine Living Resource (or part or product thereof). This is in addition to making it unlawful to import without a
permit. Thus, this section applies to brokers and any other entity offering to sell Antarctic Marine Living Resources, whether that entity is an
importer of record or not, and whether the resource enters the U.S. market or an overseas market.
Thus, in your contacts with brokers and with vessels that may be potential sources of AMLR, it is important that you inquire as to whether
the vessel holds a currently valid license authorizing it to fish for AMLR species.
If you have any questions about the status of a vessel offering AMLR species, please contact the AMLR Permit Office of the National Marine
Fisheries Service, 3209 Frederic Street, Pascagoula, MS 39567 (228)769-8964.
