The answer reference 19 CFR 113.62(l)(4) currently deals with failure to follow security at airport areas. Is there a summary document that outlines all bond liquidated damage fees? I see that directive 3510-004 July 23,1991 details many of the damages. But it does not appear to cover all. Thank you!
