 NETHERLANDS-PARCEL POST September 5,1937 September 20, 1937 If, for any reason, sale is impossible, the deteriorated or corrupted articles are destroyed. The sale or destruction gives rise to the making of a report which is sent to the Administration of origin. 5. Undeliverable parcels which the sender has abandoned may, at the expiration of a 30-day period, be sold for the profit of the Ad- ministration of the country of destination. However, in the case of an insured parcel, a report is made up. which must be sent to the Administration of the country of origin. Likewise, the Administra- tion of the country of origin must be advised when an insured parcel which is undeliverable is not returned to origin. 6. The provisions of Article XXVI, Section 2, shall be applied to a parcel which is returned in consequence of non-delivery. ARTICLE XXVI. Charges. 1. For each parcel exchanged between the contracting countries, the dispatching Office credits to the Office of destination in the parcel bills the quotas due to the latter, and indicated in the Regulations of Execution. 2. In case of reforwarding or return to origin of a parcel, if new postage and new insurance fees (in the case of insured parcels) are collected by the redispatching Office, the parcel is treated as if it had originated in that country. Otherwise, the redispatching Office re- covers from the other Office the quota due to it and indicated in the Regulations of Execution. In the case of reforwarding or return to a third country, the accrued charges, that is, such of the charges mentioned in Article 9, Section 2 (a), (b), (c), and (d) of the Regulations as are applicable, shall follow the parcel, but in the case that the third country con- cerned refuses to assume the charges because they cannot be collected from the addressee or sender, as the case may be, or for any other reason, they shall be charged back to the country of origin. In the case of a parcel returned or reforwarded in transit through one of the two Administrations to or from the other, the intermediary Administration may claim also the sum due to it for any additional territorial or sea service provided, together with any amounts due to any other Administration or Administrations concerned. ARTICLE XXVII. Postal charges other than those prescribednot to be collected. The parcels to which this agreement applies shall not be subject to any postal charges other than those contemplated by the different articles hereof. ARTICLE XXVIII. Air parcels. The Chiefs of the Postal Administrations of the two contracting countries have the right to fix by mutual consent the air surtax and other conditions in the case where the parcels are conveyed by the air routes.
