in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Every foreign-trade zone must run like a public utility, with fair, reasonable, and equal rates and treatment for everyone under similar conditions. The zone's operator, not the government, must pay for the extra customs service the zone requires.

Each zone must operate as a public utility. All rates and charges for services or privileges inside the zone must be fair and reasonable, and the grantee must give everyone who applies to use the zone and its facilities uniform treatment under similar conditions — subject to any treaties or trade agreements the United States has, or later makes, with foreign governments. The cost of the extra customs service this chapter requires must be paid by the operator of the zone.
