Summary

African Elephant Preservation Act of 1990 - Amends the African Elephant Conservation Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior, if China does not withdraw its reservation under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora with respect to listing the African elephant as an endangered species in which trade is strictly regulated, to: (1) certify that fact to the President; and (2) notify the House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries and the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Deems such certification to be certification under the Fishermen's Protective Act of 1967. Requires the President, after receiving such certification, to direct the Secretary of the Treasury to prohibit the importation into the United States of fish and wildlife products from China until China has withdrawn the reservation.
