1 The following vilayets comprise a zone east of the Euphrates which the Turkish Government excludes from the jurisdiction of all foreign consulates in Turkey: Bayazit, Diyarbekir, Elaziz, Erzincan, Erzurum, Kars, Mus, and Van.

For convenience of reference and economy of space the islands, island groups, and colonies are entered under the West Indies rather than separately under the names of the several political entities concerned, except the islands under the sovereignty of the United States, namely Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands of the United States.

7. TARIFF OF UNITED STATES CONSULAR FEES1

The following Tariff of United States Consular Fees is prescribed by the President under authority of section 1745, Revised Statutes, as amended by the acts of April 5, 1906 (ch. 1366, secs. 7, 8, and 9, 34 Stat. 101), and June 4, 1920 (ch. 223, secs. 1 and 2, 41 Stat. 750), to be charged by consular officers for official services. All charges for such services must be in strict accordance with this tariff, and be collected in the coin of the United States or at its representative value in exchange. No fee or compensation will be collected for any service not covered by this tariff.

The fees in this tariff are not prescribed for American vessels and seamen, because they are exempted by law from the payment of consular fees. Consular agents will make the fees in this tariff a basis of collection from the Treasury for services to such vessels. Foreign-built vessels, unregistered, owned by American citizens, and vessels documented under the laws of the Philippine Islands are not exempt from the payment of the fees prescribed herein.

Services, except those for which fees are fixed in items 8, 9, and 10, under this tariff shall be rendered free of charge when performed: (a) In connection with the settlement of the estate of any employee of the United States dying abroad while on official duty; (b) for the use of any person in the collection of claims from the United States or from any State for compensation, pensions, back pay, bounty, bonus, property loss in the service of the United States; (c) for obtaining the return of property held by the Alien Property Custodian; and (d) for the official use of the United States Veterans' Administration.

Consular officers must require all fees to be paid in advance and before the stamps are canceled, except in case of attendance out of office or of commissions, when the amount cannot be determined until the service is performed. Advance deposits to cover fees in such latter cases may be accepted but in no other.

This tariff is effective July 1, 1929, and should be posted in a conspicuous place in consular offices as required by section 1731, Revised Statutes.
