That sentence, in plain words

Some travelers pay a customs fee when they arrive. That money does not run out at year end. It stays until it is used.

What this is about

Most yearly money must be used by September 30. Fee money like this may be held. The fee comes from short trips to nearby places.

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
