the container station. The published revised fee schedule shall remain 

in effect until changed.

    (2) The fee, rounded off to the nearest dollar, shall be calculated 

in accordance with Sec.  24.17(d) of this chapter. The fee shall be 

based upon the amount of time the average service requires of the 

Customs officers performing the service.
