78 Overseas Post
RETURNED PARCELS
The sender of a returned parcel is legally bound to accept the parcel and pay the charges claimed on its return, even if he has requested that the parcel be abandoned in the event of non-delivery, or if it has been sold or destroyed.
The cost of returning a parcel includes postage (not necessarily equivalent to the outward charge) and in many cases charges levied abroad for warehousing and so on. Customs duty raised on a parcel abroad is generally cancelled if the parcel is returned, but on parcels sent back from the Republic of Colombia, Dominican Republic, Spain, certain French colonies and other countries, the customs charges are not cancelled and must be paid on delivery in addition to the other charges due.
COMPENSATION for loss or damage see Section I of this Guide.
