 62 STAT.] MULTILATERAL-UNIVERSAL POSTAL UNION--JULY 5, 1947 2. If the country of destination requires it or if the sender prefers, the articles mentioned in Section 1 are also accompanied by the pre- scribed number of separate customs declarations conforming to Form C 2 hereto appended, attached securely to the outside of the article by a crossed string or inserted within the article itself. In this case, only the upper part of the label C 1 is affixed to the article. 3. In regard to prints, and shipments of serums and vaccines, the absence of the label C 1 cannot involve the return of those articles to the office of origin. 4. The Administrations do not assume any responsibility for the customs declarations, regardless of the form in which they are made up. ARTICLE 112. Articles free of charges. 1. Articles to be delivered to the addressees free of all charges shall bear at the top of the address side the conspicuous heading Francde droits (free of charges) or a similar notation in the language of the country of origin. Such articles shall bear, on the address side, a yellow label also bearing in large letters the notation Franc de droits (free of charges). 2. Every article sent free of charges is accompanied by a prepay- ment bulletin conforming to Form C 3 hereto appended, made of yellow cardboard, the front of which is filled in by the office of mailing. The prepayment bulletin is securely attached to the article. CHAPTER II. Special Provisions Applicable to Each Class of Articles. ARTICLE 113. Letters. No condition of form or sealing is required for letters, provided the stipulations of Article 110 are observed. The necessary space must be left absolutely free on the front for the prepayment, the address, and the service notes or labels. ARTICLE 114. Single post cards. 1. Post cards shall be made of cardboard, or of paper strong enough not to hinder manipulation. 2. Folded sheets of paper whose two inner faces have been glued completely one over the other, so that other articles do not run the risk of slipping inside, are assimilated to post cards. 3. Post cards shall bear, at the top of the address side, the heading Carte postale (post card) in French or the equivalent of that heading in another language. That heading is not obligatory for cards of private manufacture. 4. Post cards shall be sent uninclosed, i. e., without wrapper or envelope. 68706-52 -rT. II- -- 48 3355 Ante, p. 3252.
