A consul general, consul, or vice consul appointed to perform an officer’s duties who fails to collect a fee that the officer was entitled to charge for an official service is liable to the United States for that fee as though the officer had collected it. The Secretary of the Treasury may waive the amount if the officer shows good cause.
Every consul general, consul, or vice consul appointed to perform the duty of any such officer, who omits to collect any fees which he is entitled to charge for any official service, shall be liable to the United States therefor, as if he had collected the same; unless, upon good cause shown therefor, the Secretary of the Treasury shall think proper to remit the same.
