AN ACT
To provide for an extension on a reciprocal basis of the period of the free entry of Philippine articles in the United States.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
That the duty-free treatment provided for in section 201 of the Philippine Trade Act of 1946 (60 Stat. 143) shall apply in lieu of the treatment specified in
paragraphs (1) and (2) of subsection (a) of section 202 of that Act, to Philippine articles entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, in the United States for consumption during such period after July 3, 1954, but not after December 31, 1955, as the President may declare by proclamation to be a period during which United States articles, as defined in that Act, will be admitted into the Republic of the Philippines free of ordinary customs duty, as such duty is defined in that Act. Notwithstanding any such proclamation, paragraph (2) of such subsection shall be considered as having been in effect for the purpose of applying the provisions of paragraph (3) of such subsection.
