Under option (e) delivery to an alternative addressee or redirection cannot be effected by air. One customs declaration may be used for any number of ordinary parcels posted simultaneously from one sender to one addressee. The total number and the total value of the parcels forming a consignment should be shown on the customs declaration. In addition the sender should number the parcels consecutively and should indicate on each parcel the number of parcels forming the consignment. For instance if the consignment consists of three parcels, the parcels should be numbered 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3 respectively.
