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.
