LIST OF BRITISH AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES TO WHICH POSTAL UNION RATES OF POSTAGE ARE CHARGED; ALSO THEIR ROUTES OF TRANSMISSION.
For POSTAGE RATES see PAGES 2 and 3. Names of countries and places to which the letter-rate is 1d. per half-ounce are printed in this list in CAPITALS. In a few special cases where the rates of postage are not ordinary Postal Union rates the actual rates payable are indicated by a footnote.
[Special attention is directed to annotations (a) and (b).]
(a) The limit of weight of pattern and sample packets for these countries is 12 oz. (Maximum dimensions and weight for patterns and samples for the United Kingdom, Australia, and other countries are stated at sections 18 and 19, page 13, “Limits of Size and Weight for Patterns and Samples.”)
(b) Gold, silver, precious stones, jewellery, &c., may be sent to these countries by registered letter-post, but the weight of letters containing bullion is limited to 3 lb. Such articles, however, if addressed to any of the other countries with which New Zealand has parcel-post exchanges may be sent by parcel-post, unless they are specially prohibited. See “Parcel Post” in the Post and Telegraph Guide.
For prohibited articles, see “Prohibitions,”
