Summary: American Jobs and Manufacturing Preservation Act of 1993 - Amends the Internal Revenue Code to include imported property income of a controlled foreign corporation or related person as foreign base company income.  Defines imported property income as that from:  (1) manufacturing, producing, growing, or extracting imported property; (2) the sale, exchange, or other disposition of imported property; or (3) the lease, rental, or licensing of imported property. 
Requires the separate application of the limitation on the foreign tax credit on imported property income.  Applies the look-thru rules in the case of controlled foreign corporations to such income.
