OBSERVATIONS.
PROHIBITED CONTENTS.
No compensation is paid in respect of loss or damage of parcels or their contents. Par- cels must not be sealed with wax, lead, or in any other manner, and must be packed so that they can easily be opened for Customs examination. Par- sels closed by means of nails and screw are admitted.
Payment of Customs duty cannot be undertaken by the sender.
Under-valuation of parcels may involve their confiscation. If the value of the goods (exclusive of papers such as stocks, bonds, etc., of no com- mercial value) contained in parcel or in several parcels sent at the same time by one sender to the same addressee exceeds 100 dollars (Gold) an invoice certified by a United States Consul must be furnish- ed. This invoice must be en- closed in the relative parcel, the Customs Declaration being noted "Consular Invoice en- closed." When the Consular Invoice relates to more parcels than oue, the parcels should be numbered 1, 2, 3, &c., by the senders; and the Invoice should be enclosed in parcel No. 1, the Customs Declaration being noted accordingly. The Cus toms Declarations or covers of the remaining parcels should be marked "Consular Invoice in parcel No. 1." If the sen- der prefers, however, the Con- sular Invoice may be sent direct to the addressee, the relative Customs Declaration being suitably noted.
