Update on U.S.-Myanmar import restrictions.
- Authors
Overton, Thomas W.
- Abstract
The article reports on the decision of U.S. President George W. Bush to sign into law the Tom Lantos Block Burmese Junta's Anti-Democratic Efforts (JADE) Act of 2008, which seeks to strengthen restrictions on the import of Burmese ruby and jadeite into the U.S. While the law covers all Burmese products, it does not include Burmese gems that underwent a substantial transformation outside Myanmar. The law mandates that by September 29, 2008, it is illegal to import into the U.S. jadeite and rubies mined or extracted from Myanmar, any articles of jewelry containing jadeite or rubies from Myanmar.
