# §4.98. Navigation fees.

- (a)
  - (1) The Customs Service shall publish a General Notice in the Federal Register and Customs Bulletin periodically, setting forth a revised schedule of navigation fees for the following services:
  - (2) The fees shall be calculated in accordance with [§ 24.17(d)](/cfr/19/24.17.md?p=d) Customs Regulations ([19 CFR 24.17(d)](/cfr/19/24.17.md?p=d)), and be based upon the amount of time the average service requires of a Customs officer in the fifth step of GS-9.
  - (3) The party requesting a vessel service described in [paragraph (a)(1)](#a-1) of this section for which reimbursable overtime compensation is payable under 19 U.S.C. [267](/usc/19/267.md) or [19](/usc/19/19.md) U.S.C. 1451 and [§ 24.16](/cfr/19/24.16.md) of this chapter shall pay only the applicable overtime charge, and not both the overtime charge and the fee specified in the fee schedule.
  - (4) The revised fee schedule shall be made available to the public in Customs offices.
  - (5) The respective fees shall be designated in correspondence and reports by the applicable fee number.
- (b) Fee 1 shall be collected at the first port of entry only. It shall not be collected from a vessel entering directly from a port in noncontiguous territory of the United States nor from one entering at a port on a northern, northeastern, or northwestern frontier otherwise than by sea.
- (c) Fee 2 shall be collected at the final port of departure from the United States. It shall be collected from a yacht or public vessel which obtains a clearance, but shall not be collected from a vessel clearing directly for a port in noncontiguous territory of the United States nor from one clearing from a port on the northern, northeastern, or northwestern frontier otherwise than by sea. It shall be collected only upon the first clearance each year of a vessel making regular daily trips between a port of the United States and a port in Canada wholly upon interior waters not navigable to the ocean.
- (d) Fee 3 shall be collected for granting a permit to a foreign vessel to proceed to another Customs port. It shall be collected from a foreign vessel clearing directly for a port in noncontiguous territory of the United States outside its Customs territory. This fee shall not be collected in the case of a foreign vessel proceeding on a voyage by sea from one port in the United States to another port via a foreign port. Only one fee shall be collected in case of simultaneous vessel transactions.
- (e) Fee 4 shall be collected for receiving the manifest of a foreign vessel arriving from another Customs port. It shall be collected from a foreign vessel entering directly from a port in noncontiguous territory of the United States outside its Customs territory. This fee shall not be collected in the case of a foreign vessel which arrives at one port in the United States from another port on a voyage by sea via a foreign port. Only one fee shall be collected in the case of simultaneous vessel transactions.

  (e-1) Fee 5 shall be collected from a foreign or American vessel at each port where the vessel is required to file a post entry in accordance with the provisions of [§ 4.12(a)(3)](/cfr/19/4.12.md?p=a-3). An original post entry may be supplemented by additional post entries in instances where items were omitted from the original post entry. A separate fee shall be collected for each supplemental post entry made to the original post entry.

- (f) [Reserved]
- (g) Fee 7 shall be collected from foreign vessels only.
- (h) Fee 8 shall be collected for each copy of any official document, whether certified or not, furnished to any person other than a Government officer.
- (i) Private and commercial vessels, and passengers aboard commercial vessels, may be subject to the payment of fees for services provided in connection with their arrival as set forth in [§ 24.22](/cfr/19/24.22.md) of this chapter.
- (j) The loading or unloading of merchandise or passengers from a commercial vessel at a U.S. port may cause the harbor maintenance fee set forth in [§ 24.24](/cfr/19/24.24.md) of this chapter to be assessed.
