602. When a parcel is presented for despatch to any place outside the colony the sender must be furnished with the Customs declaration, Form C. & F. P.P. 1, and requested to write in full the information required by it. The declaration must then be date-stamped and securely gummed to the parcel.
603. Officers despatching parcel-mails to Monte Video must attach two Customs declarations and one despatch-note. Special Forms C. & F. P.P. 3 and 7 are provided. The weights on these forms must be given in grams. The avoirdu pois weights given on the original Customs declaration may be converted into grams by means of the gram-conversion card supplied for Postal Union work.
604. Should a parcel for transmission to an office outside the colony be received from a sub-office without a form of Customs declaration, or without the particulars as required in the form, it must not be sent forward until the necessary particulars are obtained.
605. If a parcel, not fully prepaid, or exceeding the limit of weight or size, be left at a post-office without having been submitted for proper examination, it is not to be forwarded, but should be entered in the Returned-parcel Record, and a notice sent to the sender, or, if this be not practicable, then to the addressee, on Form P.P. G. If addressed to a place beyond the colony, and if the sender is not known, the parcel should be forwarded to the Dead Letter Office for disposal. Such parcel, if within the limit of size and weight, may be forwarded on payment of the deficient postage, or returned on proper application being made.
606. Parcels not forwarded, or not delivered to the sender, or found without address, are to be sent to the Dead Letter Office for disposal.
607. Parcels accepted in error should, if they cannot be returned to the sender, be sent to their destination, if this can be done with safety, and if the excess of weight or size be trifling. If so sent the cover should be marked “Accepted in error,” and the matter reported.
608. Registered inland parcels, in addition to being recorded in the ordinary Registered-letter Book, must also be entered in the Record of Parcels Posted, and the total amount of postage and registration fee shown. The word “Registered” should be written in the column for remarks opposite the entry. A “Registered parcel” label should be affixed to each registered parcel immediately it is accepted for transmission.
609. The special green form of registered label, P.P. A1, must be affixed to registered parcels for which the delivery-receipt fee has been paid. The sender’s receipt for such parcels should have the words “Receipt paid” written across the back and on the butt as well.
