[[Page 130 STAT. 159]]

        Commissioner considers appropriate, including by issuing

                into the customs territory of the United States through 
                evasion, use an inference that is adverse to the

                facts otherwise available to determine whether evasion

[[Page 130 STAT. 217]]

                after passage of competency tests. FLAP incentivizes the 
                use of more than two dozen languages and has been 
                instrumental in identifying and utilizing U.S. Customs 
                and Border Protection officers and agents who are 
                proficient in a foreign language.
                    (B) In 1993, Congress provided for dedicated funding 
                for this program by stipulating that certain fees 
                collected by U.S. Customs and Border Protection be used 
                to fund FLAP.
                    (C) Through FLAP, foreign travelers are aided by 
                having an officer at a port of entry who speaks their 
                language, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
                benefits by being able to focus its border security 
                efforts in a more effective manner.
            (2) Sense of congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
        FLAP incentivizes U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers to 
        attain and maintain competency in a foreign language, thereby 
        improving the efficiency of operations for the functioning of 
        U.S. Customs and Border Protection's security mission, making 
        the United States a more welcoming place when foreign travelers 
        find officers can communicate in their language, and helping to 
        expedite traveler processing to reduce wait times.

                   TITLE IX--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SEC. 901. DE MINIMIS VALUE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Modernizing international customs is critical for United 
        States businesses of all sizes, consumers in the United States, 
        and the economic growth of the United States.
            (2) Higher thresholds for the value of articles that may be 
        entered informally and free of duty provide significant economic 
        benefits to businesses and consumers in the United States and 
        the economy of the United States through costs savings and 
        reductions in trade transaction costs.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that the United 
States Trade Representative should encourage other countries, through 
bilateral, regional, and multilateral fora, to establish commercially 
meaningful de minimis values for express and postal shipments that are 
exempt from customs duties and taxes and from certain entry 
documentation requirements, as appropriate.
    (c) De Minimis Value.--Section 321(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C)) is amended by striking ``$200'' and 
inserting ``$800''.
    (d) <<NOTE: Applicability. 19 USC 1321 note.>>  Effective Date.--The 
amendment made by subsection (c) shall apply with respect to articles 
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after the 
15th day after the date of the enactment of this Act.

SEC. 909. <<NOTE: 19 USC 4452.>>  UNITED STATES-ISRAEL TRADE AND 
                        COMMERCIAL ENHANCEMENT.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) Israel is America's dependable, democratic ally in the 
        Middle East--an area of paramount strategic importance to the 
        United States.
            (2) The United States-Israel Free Trade Agreement formed the 
        modern foundation of the bilateral commercial relationship 
        between the two countries and was the first such agreement 
        signed by the United States with a foreign country.
            (3) The United States-Israel Free Trade Agreement has been 
        instrumental in expanding commerce and the strategic 
        relationship between the United States and Israel.
            (4) More than $45,000,000,000 in goods and services is 
        traded annually between the two countries, in addition to 
        roughly $10,000,000,000 in United States foreign direct 
        investment in Israel.
            (5) The United States continues to look for and find new 
        opportunities to enhance cooperation with Israel, including 
        through the enactment of the United States-Israel Enhanced 
        Security Cooperation Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-150; 22 U.S.C. 
        8601 et seq.) and the United States-Israel Strategic Partnership 
        Act of 2014 (Public Law 113-296; 128 Stat. 4075).
            (6) It has been the policy of the United States Government 
        to combat all elements of the Arab League Boycott of Israel by--
                    (A) public statements of Administration officials;
                    (B) enactment of relevant sections of the Export 
                Administration Act of 1979 (50 U.S.C. 4601 et seq.) (as 
                continued in effect pursuant to the International 
                Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.)), 
                including sections to ensure foreign persons comply with 
                applicable reporting requirements relating to the 
                Boycott;
                    (C) enactment of the Tax Reform Act of 1976 (Public 
                Law 94-455; 90 Stat. 1520) that denies certain tax 
                benefits to entities abiding by the Boycott;
                    (D) ensuring through free trade agreements with 
                Bahrain and Oman that such countries no longer 
                participate in the Boycott; and

[[Page 130 STAT. 237]]

                    (E) ensuring as a condition of membership in the 
                World Trade Organization that Saudi Arabia no longer 
                enforces the secondary or tertiary elements of the 
                Boycott.

    (b) Statements of Policy.--Congress--
            (1) supports the strengthening of economic cooperation 
        between the United States and Israel and recognizes the 
        tremendous strategic, economic, and technological value of 
        cooperation with Israel;
            (2) recognizes the benefit of cooperation with Israel to 
        United States companies, including by improving American 
        competitiveness in global markets;
            (3) recognizes the importance of trade and commercial 
        relations to the pursuit and sustainability of peace, and 
        supports efforts to bring together the United States, Israel, 
        the Palestinian territories, and others in enhanced commerce;
            (4) opposes politically motivated actions that penalize or 
        otherwise limit commercial relations specifically with Israel, 
        such as boycotts of, divestment from, or sanctions against 
        Israel;
            (5) notes that boycotts of, divestment from, and sanctions 
        against Israel by governments, governmental bodies, quasi-
        governmental bodies, international organizations, and other such 
        entities are contrary to principle of nondiscrimination under 
        the GATT 1994 (as defined in section 2(1)(B) of the Uruguay 
        Round Agreements Act (19 U.S.C. 3501(1)(B)));
            (6) encourages the inclusion of politically motivated 
        actions that penalize or otherwise limit commercial relations 
        specifically with Israel such as boycotts of, divestment from, 
        or sanctions against Israel as a topic of discussion at the 
        U.S.-Israel Joint Economic Development Group (JEDG) to support 
        the strengthening of the United States-Israel commercial 
        relationship and combat any commercial discrimination against 
        Israel; and
            (7) supports efforts to prevent investigations or 
        prosecutions by governments or international organizations of 
        United States persons solely on the basis of such persons doing 
        business with Israel, with Israeli entities, or in any territory 
        controlled by Israel.

    (c) Principal Trade Negotiating Objectives of the United States.--
            (1) Commercial partnerships.--Among the principal trade 
        negotiating objectives of the United States for proposed trade 
        agreements with foreign countries regarding commercial 
        partnerships are the following:
                    (A) To discourage actions by potential trading 
                partners that directly or indirectly prejudice or 
                otherwise discourage commercial activity solely between 
                the United States and Israel.
                    (B) To discourage politically motivated boycotts of, 
                divestment from, and sanctions against Israel and to 
                seek the elimination of politically motivated nontariff 
                barriers on Israeli goods, services, or other commerce 
                imposed on Israel.
                    (C) To seek the elimination of state-sponsored 
                unsanctioned foreign boycotts of Israel, or compliance 
                with the Arab League Boycott of Israel, by prospective 
                trading partners.

[[Page 130 STAT. 238]]

            (2) Effective date.--This subsection takes effect on the 
        date of the enactment of this Act and applies with respect to 
        negotiations commenced before, on, or after such date of

                an assessment of the effectiveness of such steps.
                    (C) A description of specific steps being taken by

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no domestic court shall 
recognize or enforce any foreign judgment entered against a United 
States person that conducts business operations in Israel, or any

                      of the United States International Trade 
                      Commission in accordance with section 503(e) of 
                      the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2463(e)), that

                      the cost or value of the materials produced in,

                    (A) <<NOTE: Deadlines.>>  In general.--Not later

                textile and apparel articles imported from Nepal to 
                which preferential treatment is extended under this 
                section are not being unlawfully transshipped into the 
                United States.
                    (B) <<NOTE: Determination.>>  Report to president.--
                If the Commissioner determines under subparagraph (A)

                section are being unlawfully transshipped into the 
                United States, the Commissioner shall report that 
                determination to the President.

    (d) Trade Facilitation and Capacity Building.--
            (1) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                    (A) As a land-locked least-developed country, Nepal 
                has severe challenges reaching markets and developing 
                capacity to export goods. As of 2015, exports from Nepal 
                are approximately $800,000,000 per year, with India the 
                major market at $450,000,000 annually. The United States 
                imports about $80,000,000 worth of goods from Nepal, or 
                10 percent of the total goods exported from Nepal.
                    (B) The World Bank has found evidence that the 
                overall export competitiveness of Nepal has been 
                declining since 2005. Indices compiled by the World Bank 
                and the Organization for Economic Co-operation and 
                Development found that export costs in Nepal are high 
                with respect to both air cargo and container shipments 
                relative to other low-income countries. Such indices 
                also identify particular weaknesses in Nepal with 
                respect to automation of customs and other trade 
                functions, involvement of local exporters and importers 
                in preparing regulations and trade rules, and export 
                finance.
                    (C) Implementation by Nepal of the Agreement on 
                Trade Facilitation of the World Trade Organization could 
                directly address some of the weaknesses described in 
                subparagraph (B).
            (2) <<NOTE: Deadline. President. Consultation.>>  
        Establishment of trade facilitation and capacity building 
        program.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
        enactment of this Act, the President shall, in consultation with 
        the Government of Nepal, establish a trade facilitation and 
        capacity building program for Nepal--
                    (A) to enhance the central export promotion agency 
                of Nepal to support successful exporters and to build 
                awareness among potential exporters in Nepal about 
                opportunities abroad and ways to manage trade 
                documentation and regulations in the United States and 
                other countries;
                    (B) to provide export finance training for financial 
                institutions in Nepal and the Government of Nepal;
                    (C) <<NOTE: Web posting.>>  to assist the Government 
                of Nepal in maintaining publication on the Internet of 
                all trade regulations, forms for exporters and 
                importers, tax and tariff rates, and other documentation 
                relating to exporting goods and developing a robust 
                public-private dialogue, through its National Trade 
                Facilitation Committee, for Nepal to identify timelines 
                for implementation of key reforms and solutions, as 
                provided for under the Agreement on Trade Facilitation 
                of the World Trade Organization; and

[[Page 130 STAT. 279]]

                    (D) to increase access to guides for importers and 
                exporters, through publication of such guides on the 
                Internet, including rules and documentation for United 
                States tariff preference programs.

    (e) <<NOTE: President. Review.>>  Reporting Requirement.--Not later 
than one year after the date of the enactment of this Act, and annually 
thereafter, the President shall monitor, review, and report to Congress 
on the implementation of this section, the compliance of Nepal with 
subsection (b)(1), and the trade and investment policy of the United 
States with respect to Nepal.

    (f) Termination of Preferential Treatment.--No preferential

SEC. 919. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NEED FOR A MISCELLANEOUS TARIFF 
                        BILL PROCESS.

    (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) As of the date of the enactment of this Act, the 
        Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States imposes duties 
        on imported goods for which there is no domestic availability or 
        insufficient domestic availability.
            (2) The imposition of duties on such goods creates 
        artificial distortions in the economy of the United States that 
        negatively affect United States manufacturers and consumers.
            (3) It would be in the interests of the United States if the 
        Harmonized Tariff Schedule were updated regularly and 
        predictably to eliminate such artificial distortions by 
        suspending or reducing duties on such goods.
            (4) The manufacturing competitiveness of the United States 
        around the world would be enhanced if the Harmonized Tariff 
        Schedule were updated regularly and predictably to suspend or 
        reduce duties on such goods.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, to remove 
the competitive disadvantage to United States manufacturers and 
consumers resulting from the imposition of such duties and to promote 
the competitiveness of United States manufacturers, the Committee on 
Finance of the Senate and the Committee on Ways and Means of the House 
of Representatives are urged to advance, as soon as possible, after 
consultation with the public and Members of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, a regular and predictable legislative process for the 
temporary suspension and reduction of duties that is consistent with the 
rules of the Senate and the House.

                        MULTIPLE AND DISCRIMINATORY TAXES ON 
                        ELECTRONIC COMMERCE.
