AI Summary
This bill, the Extending Limits of U.S. Customs Waters Act, aims to expand the U.S. customs waters from 12 nautical miles to 24 nautical miles from the U.S. baselines, consistent with Presidential Proclamation 7219. Specifically, the bill amends the Tariff Act of 1930 and the Anti-Smuggling Act to redefine "customs waters" to include both the territorial sea of the United States, as permitted by international law, and the contiguous zone, up to the limits set by the 1999 presidential proclamation. The changes made by this bill will take effect the day after its enactment.
