A research copy — for the controlling text, always check the official state or federal source. Not legal advice.

The following are not subject to arrest or seizure by judicial process in the United States:

(1)A vessel owned by, possessed by, or operated by or for the United States or a federally-owned corporation.

(2)Cargo owned or possessed by the United States or a federally-owned corporation.

(Pub. L. 109–304, § 6(c), Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1518.)

The words “a federally-owned corporation” are substituted for “any corporation in which the United States or its representatives shall own the entire outstanding capital stock” because of the definition of “federally-owned corporation” in section 30902 of the revised title. The words “after March 9, 1920” are omitted as obsolete. The words “in view of the provision herein made for a libel in personam” are omitted as unnecessary. The words “or its possessions” are omitted because of the definition of “United States” in chapter 1 of the revised title.

The words “Provided, That this chapter shall not apply to the Panama Canal Commission” are omitted because the Commission has been dissolved. See 22 U.S.C. 3714a.
