          Part II--United States International Trade Commission
 
Sec. 1332a. Importation of red cedar shingles


(a) Investigation by Commission

    The United States International Trade Commission is directed to 
conduct an investigation as soon as practicable after the close of the 
calendar year 1939 and each calendar year thereafter, for the purpose of 
ascertaining the quantities of red cedar shingles shipped by producers 
in the United States and the quantities of imported red cedar shingles 
entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, 
during each of the three calendar years immediately preceding any such 
investigation.

(b) Duty on imported shingles; amount

    If the Commission finds, on the basis of an investigation under 
subdivision (a) of this section, that in any calendar year after 1938 
the quantity of imported red cedar shingles entered for consumption, or 
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, was in excess of 30 per centum 
of the combined total for such year of the respective quantities 
ascertained in such investigation, it shall so report to the President. 
If the President approves the report of the Commission, he shall so 
proclaim, and on and after the day following the filing of such 
proclamation with the Division of the Federal Register and so long as 
any trade agreement entered into under the authority of section 1351 of 
this title, shall be in effect with respect to the importation into the 
United States of red cedar shingles, there shall be a duty upon imported 
red cedar shingles entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse 
for consumption, in any calendar year in excess of 30 per centum of the 
annual average for the preceding three calendar years of the combined 
total of the quantity of such shingles shipped by producers in the 
United States and of the quantity of such imported shingles entered for 
consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption. The rate of 
such duty shall be 25 cents per square. Any duty imposed under this 
section shall be treated for the purposes of all provisions of law 
relating to customs revenue as a duty imposed by section 1001 \1\ of 
this title, and shall not apply to shingles entered for consumption 
before the duty becomes applicable.

quota period by the Commission and reported to the Secretary of the 
Treasury.
