# §51.39. Charges for fees and rates for 8e import inspection.

- (a) **8e import inspection fees charged on a per-pound basis.**
  - (1) **Establishing the per-pound inspection rate.** To compute the per-pound inspection rate, divide the current per-lot inspection fee for a full carlot (whole lot) by 40,000 (the generally accepted weight by pound of a full carlot).
  - (2) **Applying the per-pound rate.** The per-pound inspection rate shall be applied to the following lot sizes as follows:
    - (i) For a full carlot, multiply the per-pound rate by the total weight of the full carlot plus any applicable fees for additional lots of the same product as described in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section.
    - (ii) For lots less than a full carlot, multiply the per-pound rate by the total weight of the lot with a minimum fee equivalent to a 2-hour charge computed at the current established hourly rate, whichever is greater, plus any applicable fees for additional lots of the same product as described in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section.
- (b) **8e import inspection fees charged on additional lots of the same product.** To compute the inspection fee for additional lots of the same product, multiply each additional lot by one-half of the current non-8e additional lot of the same product inspection fee.
