U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 6. Designation of customs officers for foreign service; status; rejection of designated customs officer; applicability of civil service laws
Any officer of the customs service designated by the Secretary of
the Treasury for foreign service, shall, through the Department of
State, be regularly and officially attached to the diplomatic
missions of the United States in the countries in which they are to
be stationed, and when such officers are assigned to countries in
which there are no diplomatic missions of the United States,
appropriate recognition and standing with full facilities for
discharging their official duties shall be arranged by the
Department of State. The Secretary of State may reject the name of
any such officer whose assignment to the foreign post for which he
has been designated would, in his judgment, be prejudicial to the
public policy of the United States. The appointment of such customs
officers shall be made pursuant to the civil service laws and
regulations upon the nomination of the principal officer in charge
of the office to which such appointments are to be made.
