                        TITLE 19--CUSTOMS DUTIES
 
                  CHAPTER 21--NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE
 
                 SUBCHAPTER V--MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
 
       Part A--Provisions Relating to Performance Under Agreement
 
Sec. 3461. Discriminatory taxes

    It is the sense of the Congress that when a State, province, or 
other governmental entity of a NAFTA country discriminatorily enforces 
sales or other taxes so as to afford protection to domestic production 
or domestic service providers, such enforcement is in violation of the 
terms of the Agreement. When such discriminatory enforcement adversely 
affects United States producers of goods or United States service 
providers, the Trade Representative should pursue all appropriate 
remedies to obtain removal of such discriminatory enforcement, including 
invocation of the provisions of the Agreement.
