This section bars consular officers from charging fees for official services to American vessels and seamen when those fees are not listed in the President’s tariff. It also requires itemized statements to vessel masters and detailed reports to the Secretary of the Treasury.
Consular officers may not charge or collect a fee for official services to American vessels and seamen unless the fee is named in the consular-fee tariff prescribed by the President’s order. For every such vessel, the officer must give the master an itemized statement of the services performed for the vessel and the tariff fee for each service. The officer must also make a detailed report of those services and fees to the Secretary of the Treasury, under rules the Secretary of State may prescribe.
No fees named in the tariff of consular fees prescribed by order of the President shall be charged or collected by consular officers for the official services to American vessels and seamen. Consular officers shall furnish the master of every such vessel with an itemized statement of such services performed on account of said vessel, with the fee so prescribed for each service, and make a detailed report to the Secretary of the Treasury of such services and fees, under such regulations as the Secretary of State may prescribe.
