Packages exceeding one cubic foot must be in a wood case, iron-hooped at each end, or an additional charge will be made for the same.

Specie, Jewellery, Silver, Watches, and other valuable articles, charged at three per cent. on their value, the Company reserving to themselves the right to charge by value, weight, or measurement.

Transit Duty.—Ten Shillings per cent. (payable to the Egyptian Government) will be added to the above rates.

⁂ Contents and value.—Must be declared at the time of booking, or the package cannot be received. A wrong declaration of value or contents subjects the consignee to a charge of double freight, and the package to seizure at the Custom House abroad.

Caution.—Parcels sent through any intermediate Agency cost the proprietor more. Application made personally, or by letter, to this Office, are promptly attended to.

⁂ Parcels must be applied for to the Company’s Agents at the Port of Delivery.
