Conditions of re-direction

(1) Any postal packet may be re-directed from its original address, or any substituted address, to the same addressee at any other address unless the sender has forbidden re-direction by means of a note to that effect on the address side of the packet in a language known in the country of destination. (2) Every re-directed packet, if fully prepaid for its first transmission, shall be chargeable on delivery with the difference (if any) between the postage prepaid on the first transmission and the postage chargeable if the packet had been originally addressed to the new destination. Any packet unpaid or insufficiently prepaid for its first transmission shall be charged on delivery with double the deficient postage which would have been due if it had been originally addressed to the new 45 destination. The expression “first transmission” shall be deemed to include transmission to an address within the country in which the packet was posted. (3) Where a postal packet cannot be delivered, and the sender’s address is not situated in the same country as that in which the packet was posted, such packet, when returned to the sender, shall be treated as a re-directed packet. (4) A re-directed packet on which, by the terms of these Regulations, no postage was payable on the first transmission, shall be chargeable on delivery with the postage (if any) which would have been chargeable if the packet had been originally addressed, to the new destination. (5) (i) Where a postal packet is re-directed by the addressee’s agent, it shall be re-posted not later than the day following that on which it is delivered, exclusive of Sundays and Public Holidays. (ii) Where any re-directed postal packet is not re-posted within the time allowed by this regulation, or where any postal packet having been so re-posted appears to have been opened or tampered with, it shall be deemed to have been posted afresh, and shall be chargeable accordingly.
