Code of Federal Regulations Title 31. Money and Finance–Treasury § 31.576.411 Prohibited transactions involving certain Iraqi cultural property

Current as of January 02, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) The prohibition on trade in or transfer of ownership or possession of certain Iraqi cultural property in § 576.208 is separate from, and independent of, other laws and regulations that may also prohibit the same conduct.

(b) The mere compliance with certain legal, administrative, or procedural requirements, such as the filing of a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Form 3461 (Entry/Immediate Delivery) or U.S. Customs and Border Protection Form 7501 (Entry Summary), does not render the trade in or transfer of Iraqi cultural property otherwise consistent with U.S. law for purposes of § 576.208. The trade in or transfer of Iraqi cultural property as described in § 576.208 would violate § 576.208 regardless of whether the U.S. Customs and Border Protection forms were truthfully and accurately completed.

Note to § 576.411:  Other laws and regulations potentially applicable to the unlawful trade in or transfer of Iraqi cultural property include, but are not limited to, the transportation of stolen goods, 18 U.S.C. 2314;  the receipt of stolen goods, 18 U.S.C. 2315;  the importation of goods contrary to law, 18 U.S.C. 545 and 19 U.S.C. 1595a(a), (b), and (c);  the exportation of goods contrary to law, 19 U.S.C. 1595a(d);  the importation of stolen cultural property, 19 U.S.C. 2607;  the importation of cultural property pertaining to the inventory of a museum or religious or secular public monument, 19 CFR 12.104a;  and the emergency protection of Iraqi cultural antiquities, 19 CFR 12.104j.
