TITLE III—GOVERNANCE OF THE 
BURMESE MINING AND GEM-
STONE SECTORS 
SEC. 301. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE MINING SECTOR OF 
BURMA. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) In 2015, the nongovernmental organization 
Global Witness estimated that the value of total pro-
duction 
of 
jade 
in 
Burma 
in 
2014 
was 
$31,000,000,000, almost 48 percent of the official 
gross domestic product of Burma. As much as 80 
percent of that jade sold is smuggled out of Burma. 
(2) Burma’s military and associated entities, in-
cluding companies owned or controlled by Myanmar 
Economic Corporation and Myanmar Economic 
Holding Limited, their affiliated companies, and 
companies owned or controlled by current and 
former senior military officers or their family mem-
bers, are linked to the mining sector, including the 
gemstone industry, and benefit financially from 
widespread illegal smuggling of jade and rubies from 
Burma. 
(3) 
Illegal 
trafficking 
in 
precious 
and 
semiprecious stones from Burma, including the trade 
in high-value jade and rubies, deprives the people of 
Burma and the civilian government of critical rev-
enue and instead benefits military-linked entities, 
non-state armed groups, and transnational organized 
criminal networks.
(4) In 2016, the Government of Burma began 
to take steps to reform aspects of the mining sector, 
including— 
(A) improving governance in the gemstone 
industry, 
by 
temporarily 
suspending 
the 
issuance or renewal of jade and gemstone min-
ing permits; 
(B) commissioning an environmental man-
agement plan for some mining areas; and 
(C) establishing the multi-stakeholder Jade 
and Gemstone Support Committee under the 
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environ-
mental Conservation to develop recommenda-
tions for a new industry-wide policy and limited 
gemstone 
payment 
disclosures 
under 
the 
Myanmar Extractives Industry Transparency 
Initiative. 
(5) In January 2019, the Government of 
Burma adopted a new Gemstone Law that does not 
adequately address corruption and tax avoidance, 
conflicts of interest, or the factors fueling conflict in 
Kachin State and other gemstone mining areas. 
(6) The lifting in October 2016 of United 
States sanctions on the importation of jade and 
jadeite and rubies from Burma allowed such
gemstones to legally enter the United States market, 
but some retailers have refrained from sourcing 
gemstones of Burmese origin due to governance and 
reputational concerns. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) notwithstanding Burma’s ‘‘Trafficking in 
Persons’’ ranking, the President should continue to 
provide assistance to Burma, pursuant to the waiver 
authority under section 110(d)(4) of the Trafficking 
Victims Protection Act of 2000 (22 U.S.C. 
7107(d)(4)), in order to re-engage with the Govern-
ment of Burma with respect to the mining sector 
and should make available technical, capacity-build-
ing and other assistance through the Department of 
State or the United States Agency for International 
Development to support the Government of Burma 
in efforts to reform the gemstone industry; and 
(2) companies that seek to import to the United 
States gemstones or minerals that may be of Bur-
mese origin or articles of jewelry containing such 
gemstones should— 
(A) obtain such materials exclusively from 
entities that satisfy the transparency criteria 
described in section section 302(b)(2) or from
third parties that can demonstrate that they 
sourced the materials from entities that meet 
such criteria; and 
(B) undertake robust due diligence proce-
dures in line with the ‘‘Due Diligence Guidance 
for Responsible Business Conduct’’ and ‘‘Due 
Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply 
Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and 
High-Risk Areas’’ promulgated by the Organi-
zation for Economic Cooperation and Develop-
ment.
