Amends the Trade Act of 1974 to authorize appropriations for the Office of the United States Trade Representative for FY 1991 and 1992. Amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to make the Customs Forfeiture Fund available for equitable sharing payments to other Federal agencies, State and local law enforcement agencies, and foreign countries.

Requires the Commissioner to develop a nationally uniform enforcement strategy for dealing with such violations. Makes confidential the contents of such reports. Requires the Secretary of the Treasury to: (1) assess the advisability of expanding the use of preclearance operations by the United States Customs Service at foreign airports; and (2) evaluate various means by which persons whose merchandise is damaged during customs examinations may seek compensation from the Service. Requires the Commissioner of Customs to keep accurate statistics on such damage to merchandise. Amends the Trade Act of 1974 to make Czechoslovakia and East Germany eligible for trade benefits under the Generalized System of Preferences. Extends the period of time that the Secretary of Labor must prepare for the Congress a report on supplemental wage allowance demonstration projects under the worker adjustment assistance program.
