Not so sure CMP will be affected, as they aren't importing per-se.
The CMP repatriates rifles that have been returned from allies to whom they were lent. Hence no import marks. They aren't being imported, but returned.
When US arms are offered for sale to importers, they have to go through the usual channels and are subject to the ATF sporting purposes interpretation, import marking statutes, etc. CMP doesn't buy rifles in this market.
Hence, Korean M1's were blocked from import while CMP continued to receive rifles from various sources.
The reason why one source of rifles is wholesome and good for US and another is horrible cause of social decay and violence eludes me at present.
