SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    The United States and several other countries have increased the 
effectiveness of their respective controls over international trade in 
strategic commodities by means of an Import Certificate procedure. For 
the U.S. importer, this procedure provides that, where required by the 
exporting country, the importer submits an international import 
certificate to the U.S. Government to certify that he/she will import 
commodities into the United States and will not reexport such 
commodities, except in accordance with the export control regulations 
of the United States. The U.S. Government, in turn, certifies that such 
representations have been made.
