GENERAL RULES.—Parcels must be posted before 3 p.m. on the working day next before the departure of the Packet. A receipt will be given for each. A declaration of contents and value is required, except for places the names of which are printed in italics. The form is supplied free. Parcels may be sealed, but any parcel, even though sealed, is liable to be opened for examination. Dangerous or injurious goods, opium, articles likely to injure the mails, liquids (unless securely packed) and fragile packages are prohibited. No parcel must exceed $708 in value. A parcel may contain a letter to the same addressee as that of the parcel itself (except in countries where enclosure of letters is prohibited) or another parcel in the same parcel, but no other enclosure. Declarations of contents must be complete and accurate. Everything in the parcel should be entered. False declarations expose the parcel to the risk of confiscation.
Parcels containing coin, watches, jewellery, or any article of gold or silver, cannot be sent to the United Kingdom, or to any Foreign Country, or British Possession included in the insurance system, unless they are insured for at least part of their value.
