The State Department can get yearly funding to pay U.S. dues to a customs-tariff publishing union. This covers contributions required by an 1890 treaty. The U.S. share can never exceed 6 percent of the union's yearly expenses.

This section authorizes an annual appropriation to the Department of State, of whatever sum is necessary, including contributions required under the convention of July 5, 1890, as amended. The money pays the United States' share of the expenses of the International Union for the Publication of Customs Tariffs and its Bureau. That share can never exceed 6 percent of the Union's total expenses for the year.
