Observations: All acceptable merchandise not sent as an un- solicited gift will be admitted into Great Britain only under a licence which the importer must obtain from the Import Licens- ing Branch of the Board of Trade, Romney House, Tufton St., London, S.W.1, England.

All parcels not coming within the require- ments set forth for unsolicited gift parcels (See page 32) will be regarded as having been accepted with the understanding that the responsibility for previously determining that the articles sent will be admitted and for obtaining the required import licence rests with the sender and addressee, and the Post Office Department will assume no responsibility arising from the failure of the inability of the addressee to produce the im- port licence.
A fee for clearance through the customs is imposed on each parcel received from abroad which is subject to customs charges. The amount of the fee is 1 shilling for each parcel on which the customs charges exceed 10 shillings, and 6 pence for each parcel on which the customs charges do not exceed 10 shillings.
