Nondelivery. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS OTHER THAN TREATIES ARTICLE XXIV. Reforwarding. 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 the delivery of such parcel to another person at the original place of destination. These charges ahll 1 not be cancelled even in case the parcel is returned to origin or refor- warded 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 fees are col- lected from the addressee by the Administration effecting the deliv- ery. 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 indemnity is decided upon exclusively in accordance with the pro- visions of Article VIII, Section 6.
