(e) An insured box must be tied crosswise with a single strong string (not two or more pieces joined), the two ends of the string being held together under a seal of fine wax bearing a private mark. The box must also be sealed on the four sides with seals identical with that used for the ends of the string. The box must not be wrapped in paper, but the surfaces of the top and bottom must be covered with white paper for the inscription of the addressee's name and address and the insured value of the contents and for the impression of the official stamps.
(f) An insured box is subject to the Customs regulations and laws in force in the country of destination and must be accompanied by a Customs declaration prepared by the sender. Customs declarations of the non-adhesive form used for parcels should be used for boxes posted in this Colony; but the heading of the first column of the form should be altered to "Insured Boxes-Boîtes avec valeur déclarée" when the form is used for an insured box. The Customs declarations must be prepared with great care, and must specify precisely the style of packing and include a description of the box, its gross weight and the total value of the contents. The net weight and value of each of the different kinds of article contained in the box must also be shown separately.
(g) No box can be accepted for transmission under this arrangement unless the postage, registration and insurance fees are fully prepaid. Two forms of Customs declarations are required.
29. If the Postmaster General is of the opinion that the delivery of telegrams and postal articles cannot readily be effected at any place without danger to the officers of the Post Office or because there are not at such place proper facilities for the receipt of telegrams and postal articles, he may suspend delivery at such place for such period as he may think fit upon giving notice of such suspension either by leaving the same with any adult person at such place or by causing the same to be inserted in a daily newspaper published in the Colony.
30. The sender of a parcel may be required to prove his identity and it shall be lawful for the Postmaster General or any officer of the Post Office authorized in that behalf to refuse a parcel the sender of which has after being so required failed to submit such proof.
31. The sender of a parcel or of a small packet referred to in these regulations addressed to a place outside the Colony must make a customs declaration stating the full address, the nature, value and the net weight of the contents.
