Nothing contained in the Sherman Act [15 U.S.C. 1 et seq.] shall
be construed as declaring to be illegal an association entered into
for the sole purpose of engaging in export trade and actually
engaged solely in such export trade, or an agreement made or act
done in the course of export trade by such association, provided
such association, agreement, or act is not in restraint of trade
within the United States, and is not in restraint of the export
trade of any domestic competitor of such association: Provided,
That such association does not, either in the United States or
elsewhere, enter into any agreement, understanding, or conspiracy,
or do any act which artificially or intentionally enhances or
depresses prices within the United States of commodities of the
class exported by such association, or which substantially lessens
competition within the United States or otherwise restrains trade
therein.
