The President may set official-service fee rates, identify additional official services, and adapt rates for each diplomatic post. Officers must collect only the prescribed fees, which must be reported to Congress annually.
The President may periodically set the rates or tariffs for official-service fees, identify services that count as official beyond those named by law, and adjust the rates as needed for each embassy, legation, or consulate. Everyone connected with those posts must collect only the fees prescribed for that post. The rates or tariffs must be reported to Congress every year.
The President is authorized to prescribe, from time to time, the rates or tariffs of fees to be charged for official services, and to designate what shall be regarded as official services, besides such as are expressly declared by law, in the business of the several embassies, legations, and consulates, and to adapt the same, by such differences as may be necessary or proper, to each embassy, legation, or consulate; and it shall be the duty of all officers and persons connected with such embassies, legations, and consulates to collect for such official services such and only such fees as may be prescribed for their respective embassies, legations, and consulates, and such rates or tariffs shall be reported annually to Congress.
