Written correspondence or documents do not include books or magnetic or optical recording media such as tapes, cassettes, computer discs, compact discs and so on. The option to include duty-payable items and affix a customs form is not available with Express Post International - Letters or Registered Post International. These two services are available only for written correspondence or documents. Some countries prohibit duty-payable articles or merchandise in Air Mail Letters – refer to Section 6 of this Post Guide. Aerogrammes Aerogrammes that contain insertions of written correspondence or documents attract the full Air Mail Letter post charge. Postcards and Greeting Cards Enveloped Postcards and Greeting Cards that contain other insertions attract the full Air Mail Letter post charge. �1.1.3 – Postcard or Greeting Card A Postcard or Greeting Card is a single card containing a written or printed message. It attracts a special post charge – refer to Post Charges Booklet (8833665).

Refer to Section 6 of this Post Guide for the maximum weight for each country. �1.2.2 – Maximum size The length of the greatest linear dimension of an International Parcel must not exceed 105 cm. The girth of an International Parcel must not exceed 140 cm. Some examples of how to measure the length and girth follow. Cylinders If the parcel is a long cylinder, its axis (length) must not exceed 105 cm and its circumference (girth) must not exceed 140 cm. Boxes If the parcel is box-shaped, then its length (its longest dimension) must not exceed 105 cm. The girth is achieved by measuring around all the other dimensions and must not exceed 140 cm. Eg. a parcel measuring – 50cm long, 30cm high & 40cm wide (0.3m)+(0.3m)+(0.4m)+(0.4m) = Girth 140cm (1.4m) September 2007 Length Length Irregular shapes Length If the parcel is irregular in shape, its length is the distance between the two furthest-apart points on the surface of the article and must not exceed 105 cm. The girth, measured Girth around the 'fattest' part of the article at right angles to its length, must not exceed 140 cm. �1.2.3 – Minimum size The girth of a parcel must be at least 16 cm. For example, a broom handle or a pencil-shaped parcel is not acceptable. If the parcel is box-shaped, both its length and its width must be at least 5 cm. Girth Girth
