Customs Freight Station overtime charges upheld as an administrative cost-sharing arrangement justified by higher work volume.

Enhanced overtime charges for operation of a Customs Freight Station were challenged, but the recorded reasons showed that the charges related to services rendered across multiple freight stations and were shared on a common basis. The increase was justified by a higher volume of work requiring overtime, and the arrangement was treated as an administrative measure connected with the freight station's operation. As the charges were passed on to customers and no sustainable grievance was established, the court declined to interfere with the revised charges and dismissed the petition.
