    Reading Time:about 21 minutes

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has issued a final rule to impose import restrictions on certain archaeological and ethnological materials from Morocco. These restrictions are based on an agreement between the U.S. and Moroccan governments, under the Convention on Cultural Property Implementation Act, to help protect Morocco's cultural heritage from illegal pillage. The rule identifies specific categories of artifacts, such as items made from stone, ceramic, metal, and textiles, as well as architectural elements and manuscripts from Islamic cultures that are subject to these restrictions. The regulation is effective as of January 15, 2021, and aims to ensure that these cultural items are legally exported and not in violation of Moroccan laws.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. has made a rule with Morocco to stop certain special old things, like stone or metal items, from coming into the country without permission, so they don't get taken from Morocco the wrong way. This rule helps make sure these treasures are protected and treated right.

    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection, under the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of the Treasury, has extended import restrictions on certain archaeological materials from Italy. These regulations, originally set to expire, have been extended until January 12, 2026, to prevent the illicit importation of cultural heritage items. This extension is part of a new Memorandum of Understanding with Italy, aimed at protecting historical artifacts from being looted or illegally sold. The import restrictions are part of efforts aligned with international agreements to safeguard cultural property.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. decided to keep certain old things from Italy (like artifacts) protected by not allowing them to be brought into the country without permission, to stop them from being stolen or sold illegally. This rule will last until 2026 to help keep these treasures safe.
