The document says “shall”Who acts: PresidentHow: proclamationSec. 5020 in the PDF
What the document says
“The President shall proclaim such modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States as may be necessary to restore the eligibility of articles described in paragraph (2) for preferential treatment under section 213A of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2703a).”
Subsection (b) of section 5020 requires the President to proclaim the changes to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule needed to restore preferential treatment for articles that were eligible under section 213A on December 20, 2006 and became ineligible after that date and before enactment as a result of revisions to the Schedule.
What the document actually says
“The President shall proclaim such modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States as may be necessary to restore the eligibility of articles described in paragraph (2) for preferential treatment under section 213A of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act (19 U.S.C. 2703a).”
That sentence, in plain words
The President must make the changes needed to bring some goods back into the deal. The changes go into the list of goods and their taxes.
What this is about
The list of goods gets revised over time. Some goods dropped out of the deal by accident. This tells the President to put them back.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
