Sec. 635.47  Ports of entry.

    NMFS shall monitor the importation of bluefin tuna and swordfish 
into the United States. If NMFS determines that the diversity of 
handling practices at certain ports at which bluefin tuna or swordfish 
is being imported into the United States allows for circumvention of the 
BSD or swordfish COE requirement, NMFS may designate, after consultation 
with the U.S. Customs Service, those ports at which Pacific or Atlantic 
bluefin tuna or swordfish from any source may be imported into the 
United States. NMFS shall announce through filing with the Office of the 
Federal Register for publication the names of ports so designated and 
the effective dates of entry restrictions.
