The value to be entered in francs and the weight in kilogrammes. In the case of Insured Parcels the Despatch Note must bear an impression of the seal used to close the parcel and the Customs Declarations must have a similar impression in ink. No compensation can be given unless the parcel is insured.

CUSTOMS FORMalities at cHINESE TREATY PORTS:-Each parcel originating from a Chinese treaty port must have one of the forms of Customs Declaration duly stamped by the Chinese Custon House in token that duty has been paid on the parcel or that it has been passed "duty free" before the parcel will be accepted.

In the Customs Declaration of parcels for Russia a separate entry must be made of each kind of article or goods, describing precisely in each case the quality according to the commercial denomina- tion, the quality according to ordinary trade usage, by number, measurement, and net weight (in grammes), and the value in Russian currency. Neglect of these regulations will lead to the rejection of the parcel by the Russian Customs and its return to the sender.
