Unfortunately, context does not help us here. Section 1546(a) “is certainly not a model of good draftsmanship; a better description would be that it is a masterpiece of obfuscation.” Indeed, with this section, Congress has achieved in a single 124-word sentence a level of confusion it usually takes pages to create.
