Sec. 4343. Regulations
(a) Issuance; purpose
The Secretary of State may issue regulations to carry out the
purposes of this chapter. The primary purpose of such regulations and
related policies, rules, and procedures shall be to assure that
employees and members of their families do not profit personally from
sales or other transactions with persons who are not themselves entitled
to exemption from import restrictions, duties, or taxes.
(b) Contractors
Such regulations shall require that, to the extent contractors enjoy
importation or tax privileges in a foreign country because of their
contractual relationship to the United States Government, after the
effective date of this chapter contracting agencies shall include
provisions in their contracts to carry out the purpose of this chapter.
(c) Chief of mission
In order to ensure that due account is taken of local conditions,
including applicable laws, markets, exchange rate factors, and
accommodation exchange facilities, such regulations may authorize the
chief of mission to each foreign country to establish more detailed
policies, rules, or procedures for the application of this chapter
within that country to employees under the chief of mission's
jurisdiction.
