This law bars any refund of the extra duty charged on goods imported on foreign ships. The government keeps the full amount.
This section deals with extra duties charged on merchandise because it was imported on a foreign vessel instead of a U.S. one. It says that no part of that additional or "discriminating" duty can be refunded — sometimes called a "drawback." The government keeps the entire amount instead of giving any of it back.

No part of the additional or discriminating duty imposed by law on merchandise on account of its importation in foreign vessels shall be allowed to be drawback, but the whole shall be retained.
