Note.—( 1 ) Articles of the Letter Mail containing dutiable goods
intended for countries that do not admit them will not be accepted. If
erroneously accepted or detected in course of transmission through the
post they will be returned to the sender. Articles of the letter mail
suspected to contain dutiable goods intended for countries that do not
admit them will be marked “contents dyubtjul suspected to be dutiable"
and forwarded at senders risk to destination where they will be subject
to the Internal Laws and Regulations of the country of destination
Note.—(2) With the exception of ordinary articles of correspon
dence viz, letters, postcards, printed papers (including trade catalogues
and circulars) business papers, and bona-fide samples of merchandise
having no saleable value, almost all articles which are likely to be
forwarded by the letter post are liable to customs duty on importation
into Iraq.
Exception.—If a foreign registered letter containing coin bullion
precious stones, jewellery or articles of gold and silver is received from
a foreign country, plainly superscribed “to be submitted to the customs”
and accompanied by an invoice giving an accurate statement of the value
of the contents, it will be treated as an article insured for its inland
transit, within the limits of Iraq and delivered to the addressee on
payment of a penalty fee of Rs. 2/- and an insurance fee calculated at
the inland rates, on the value of the contents assessed by the Customs
Authorities; provided that, if the value of the contents exceeds the
maximum limit of Rs. 1,000 the articles will be insured only for such
maximum.
