EGYPT-PARCEL POST-ju.y 17,1939 Sept. 13, 1939 it then recovers the amount of the deficiency by claiming it from the office of exchange from which the missent parcel was directly re- ceived. The reason for this claim is notified to the latter by means of a bulletin of verification. ARTICLE XXIII. Re orwarding. 1. A parcel may be redirected in consequence of the addressee's change of address in the country of destination, at the request of either the sender or the addressee. The reforwarding of a parcel within one of the contracting coun- tries gives rise to collection of the supplementary charges provided for by the Administration of that country. The same is true, if occasion arises, in regard to delivery of such parcel to another person at the original place of destination. These charges shall not be can- celed even in case the parcel is returned to origin or reforwarded to another country. 2. If a parcel must be reforwarded to one of the two countries signatory to the present Agreement, it is liable to new postage charges and, if occasion arises, new insurance fees, unless such charges and fees have been paid in advance. The new postage and fees are collected from the addressee by the Administration effecting delivery. Insured parcels must be reforwarded as such. 3. At the request of the sender or addressee, parcels may also be reforwarded or returned to another country. Insured parcels may not, however, be reforwarded or returned except as such. The senders may mark the parcels: "Do not forward to a third country." In that case the parcels must not be reforwarded to any other coun- try. In case of loss, rifling, or damage of an insured parcel refor- warded to another country or returned by that country, the indem- nity is decided upon exclusively in accordance with the provisions of Article VII, Section 6. ARICLE XXIV. Nondelivery. 1. Undeliverable parcels returned to the sender are liable to new postage charges as well as insurance fees if necessary, and are returned as parcels of the same class in which they were received. The charges are collectible from the sender and are collected by the Administration which delivers the parcels to him. 2. At the time of mailing, the sender must state how his parcel is to be disposed of in the event of nondelivery; that is, the sender must mark the parcel and the despatch note with one of the following notes: "In case of nondelivery, the parcel should be returned to sender." "In case of nondelivery, the parcel should be considered as abandoned." "In case of nondelivery, the parcel should be delivered to ." No note other than those provided for above or note of similar import is permitted, except as provided in Article XXIII, Section 3. 3. Barring contrary instructions, undeliverable parcels are returned to origin, without previous notification, 30 days after their arrival at the office of destination. Parcels which the addressee refuses to accept shall be returned immediately. In all cases, the reason for nondelivery must be indicated on the parcel. Reforwarding; sup- plementary charges.
