Customs officers can get cash awards for speaking foreign languages well. The Secretary of the Treasury sets the rules for these awards. The awards work the same way as similar awards for law enforcement officers under title 5.

This section lets customs officers — as defined in section 267(e)(1) of this title — receive cash awards for foreign language proficiency. The Secretary of the Treasury must prescribe the regulations governing these awards. The awards must be given to the same extent and in the same manner as allowed under subchapter III of chapter 45 of title 5, which covers similar awards for law enforcement officers as defined in section 4521 of title 5.
