Part 19

(h) Under the present customs laws, all goods which are the growth, product, or manufacture of the United States, the Philippine Islands, or of both, or which do not contain foreign materials to the value of more than 20 per cent of their total value, are, with certain exceptions, admitted free of duty when mailed from the Islands to the United States. The only exceptions of importance to travelers are cigars and cigarettes, which are subject to a fine equivalent to the duty, if sent by mail. In order to assure the free entry of other mail shipments, every package worth less than P20 should have its true value and the fact that it comes within the limits just defined, certified to by the sender on the wrapper. Packages whose value is P20 or more require a certificate of origin, which can be issued only by the Collector of Customs at a port of entry. In Manila, however, a customs official is on duty at the central post office at certain hours to issue these documents. The certificate must be pasted in the wrapper or be placed in an envelope to the package. If the shipment is valued at P50 or more, a fee of P2 is charged for the certificate.

For ordinary message, P0.06 per word, including address and signature.

For rush messages, P0.12 per word.

For repeated messages, one-half more than the regular rate.
