P.R. Laws tit. 4A, § 7
The employee of the court appointed to make the duplication of the record shall immediately determine the fees to be paid according to these rules through a written notice to the Clerk stating the approximate amount of the fees, copy of which shall be notified by the Clerk to the corresponding party. As soon as the amount of the fees is deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Court the preparation of the electronic duplication of the record shall be commenced.
The totality of the fees shall be subject to the result of the duplication. In the event that the amount previously deposited exceeds the amount that the party has to pay, the Clerk shall return the difference. If, on the contrary, the amount deposited is less than the fees that must be charged for the duplication, the party shall deposit within ten (10) days the rest of the amount with the office of the Clerk of the Court. These ten (10) days shall be counted from the date of the notice made to such effect by the Clerk.
The final amount of the fees determined for the electronic duplication of the record shall be sent by the Clerk of the court to the Secretary of the Treasury, according to the rules in force.
