Within 3 months after the completion of the 8th Conference of the Parties to CITES, the Secretary shall determine whether this chapter, together with the CITES Ivory Control System, has substantially stopped the importation of illegally harvested ivory into the United States. If the Secretary determines that the importation of illegally harvested ivory has not been substantially stopped, the Secretary shall recommend to the Congress amendments to this chapter or other actions that may be necessary to achieve the purposes of this chapter, including the establishment of a complete moratorium on the importation of elephant ivory into the United States.
