    The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), part of the Department of Homeland Security, has extended import restrictions on certain archaeological and ethnological materials from Ecuador until January 16, 2030. These restrictions, originally set in place through a 2020 agreement between the U.S. and Ecuador, aim to protect cultural property. This extension follows an exchange of diplomatic notes between the two countries, and CBP has updated its regulations to reflect and enforce this change. The rule is effective without delay due to its connection to foreign affairs.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has decided to keep some special rules that help protect old and important things from Ecuador, like really old artifacts and special cultural items. They made these rules stronger and will keep them until 2030 to help make sure these special things are safe.

    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.
