§1755 Responsibilities of fair operator

Summary

The fair operator chosen by the Secretary of Commerce is treated as the only importer and the person responsible for receiving all items entered for that fair. The operator must repay the United States for actual customs costs to handle those items — for example, handling, inspecting, valuing, storing, destroying, or releasing them — including customs staff pay. The money must be returned to the same government account that paid it, as section 1524 says.
