What the agency says
This document amends U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations to reflect an extension of emergency import restrictions on certain archaeological and ethnological material from Afghanistan, which were originally imposed in CBP Decision 22-04. The regulations are also being updated to refer specifically to the material being restricted in a manner consistent with CBP's other listed cultural property restrictions. The CBP regulations are being amended to reflect this updated language, as well as this extension of import restrictions through April 28, 2029.
