Customs declaration : One adhesive form. Option (ii) on the Customs declara- tion form for undeliverable parcels is not available in the service with Canada.

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.

This concession does not apply to parcels forwarded direct from stores or other concerns and bearing the name of the store or other concern.
North-West Territories (Mackenzie River District only): Parcels are normally forwarded to destination by air from Edmonton, and are liable to
surcharge on delivery.
