For scales of fees, see individual country items in § 168.5 of this chapter. § 123.4 Limits of insurance.

The maximum amounts for which parcels may be insured are shown under the individual country items in § 168.5 of this chapter. Parcels may not be insured for more than the declared value of the contents or for more than the maximum amount of indemnity payable in connection with insured parcels for the country concerned. However, if desired, parcels may be insured for a portion of the value of the contents, in which case only the fee covering the amount of insurance desired will be charged.

§ 123.5 Special endorsements.

(a) Contents. You must mark parcels containing fragile or perishable articles "Fragile," "Perishable," "Glass," or "Eggs," as appropriate.

(b) Insured value. (1) You must indicate in United States currency (figures only) in the appropriate space on the Form 2966 (Customs Declaration [Parcel Post]) the amount for which your parcel is insured.

(2) To most countries, the insured value of the parcel must be shown on the wrapper and on the Form 2972 (Dispatch Note [For Mailing Parcels to Certain Countries]). Examples of the types of endorsements to be used are given under individual country items in § 168.5 of this chapter. In some instances the insured value must be shown also in gold francs. Conversion of United States currency into gold francs is made on the basis of 33 cents (approximately) equals 1 gold franc. To determine the gold franc equivalent, multiply the amount in United States currency by 3. For example, $5.25 is equal to 15.75 gold francs. § 123.6 Insurance receipts.

§ 127.1 Conditions and limitations.

You may cause any mail article or parcel you addressed for delivery in another country to be withdrawn from the postal service, or have its address changed if it can be intercepted in the United States. In case the article has been dispatched from the United States, but not delivered

to the addressee, withdrawal or change of address may be effected if:

(b) The article has not been confiscated or destroyed by the authorities of the country of destination as being prohibited importation; or

(c) The article has not been seized under provisions of the domestic legislation of the country of destination.

[24 F.R. 2993, Apr. 18, 1959]

(a) Where to apply. If the article was mailed in a post office, station or branch make application there. If it was mailed in a street letter box, apply at the main post office. You must identify yourself and submit a written application (on Form 1509 for ordinary or insured mail or 3855 for registered mail) giving a complete description of the article, and the date of mailing.

Otherwise you may have a search made at the main post office or other concentration point upon paying a fee of 13 cents, whether the search is successful or not. The post office will change the address without charge, but if the article is returned to you, domestic postage will be charged except in the case of letters or post cards, which are returned free of postage. If the mailing office is also the dispatching exchange office, the conditions stated in paragraph (c) of this section will apply.

(c) Search at exchange office. You may have a search made for the article at the United States dispatching exchange office if you request it and pay the fee of 13 cents, unless you have already paid it (see paragraph (b) of this section). If you desire such search to include opening made-up sacks, you must guarantee payment of the cost of opening, searching and closing the sacks, whether your article is located or not. If you wish the request sent to the exchange office by telegraph you must pay
