(g) AUTHORITY TO LIMIT CERTAIN DUTY-FREE TREATMENT.—

(1)(A) The President may proclaim changes in the Tariff Schedules of the United States to narrow the scope of, place conditions upon, or otherwise eliminate the duty-free treatment accorded by reason of the amendments made by subsection (e) or (f) with respect to any type of article the duty-free treatment of which has significant adverse impact on a domestic industry (or portion thereof) manufacturing or producing a like or directly competitive article, if the effect of such change is consistent with the provisions of the relevant annexes of the Florence Agreement or the Nairobi Protocol. (B) If the President proclaims changes to the Tariff Schedules of the United States under subparagraph (A), the rate of duty thereafter applicable to any article which is— (i) affected by such action, and (ii) imported from any source, shall be the rate determined and proclaimed by the President as the rate which would then be applicable to such article from such source if this section had not been enacted. (2) If the President determines that any duty-free treatment which is no longer in effect because of action taken under paragraph (1) could be restored, in whole or in part, without a resumption of significant adverse impact on a domestic industry or portion thereof, the President may proclaim changes to the Tariff Schedules of the United States to resume such duty-free treatment. (3) Before taking any action under paragraph (1) or (2), the President shall afford an opportunity for interested Government agencies and private persons to present their views concerning the proposed action.
