‘‘(i) to search, detain (after search), and 
seize goods or technology at those places out-
side the United States where such entities are 
authorized, pursuant to agreements or other ar-

forcement activities; and 
‘‘(ii) to conduct such activities at those

where officers of U.S. Immigration and Cus-

‘‘(B) An officer of U.S. Immigration and Cus-
toms Enforcement or U.S. Customs and Border Pro-
tection may do the following in carrying out enforce-
ment authority under this Act: 
‘‘(i) Stop, search, and examine a vehicle,

such officer has reasonable cause to suspect 
there are any goods or technology that has 
been, is being, or is about to be exported from 
the United States in violation of this Act.
‘‘(ii) Search any package or container in

pect there are any goods or technology that has 
been, is being, or is about to be exported from 
the United States in violation of this Act. 
‘‘(iii) Detain (after search) or seize and se-
cure for trial any goods or technology on or 
about such vehicle, vessel, aircraft, or person, or

partment or agency with export license authority 
under other provisions of law concerning the export 
license requirements for such goods or technology, 
such disagreement shall be resolved within that 20- 
day period. At the end of that 20-day period, U.S. 
Immigration and Customs Enforcement or U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (as the case may 
be) shall either release the goods or technology, or 
seize the goods or technology as authorized by other 
provisions of law.
