preinspection of each passenger in a place outside the United States before
arrival, on a commercial vessel or commercial aircraft. However, that fee

originated in Canada, Mexico, a territory or possession of the United
States, or an adjacent island; or
(2) a passenger in transit to a destination outside the United States
and for whom immigration inspection services are not provided.
(b) COLLECTION.—(1) A person issuing a document or ticket to an indi-
vidual for transportation on a commercial vessel or commercial aircraft to

of this section when the document or ticket is issued; and
(B) identify on that document or ticket the fee charged under sub-
section (a) of this section as a United States Government inspection
fee.
(2) If a document or ticket for transportation of a passenger to the
United States is issued in a foreign country and the fee charged under sub-
section (a) of this section is not collected when the document or ticket is
issued, the person providing the transportation shall collect the fee when the
passenger departs from the United States and give the passenger a receipt
for payment of the fee.
