GENERAL

3. (1) Where letter-post items are posted in a country other than Canada to an addressee in
Canada by or on behalf of a person resident in Canada and

(a) the letter-post items are posted in large quantities,

(b) the Corporation has reasonable grounds to believe that the sole purpose for posting the
letter-post items in that other country is to profit from the lower postage rates that are in force in
that country, or

(c) the letter-post items are printed papers containing a card, an envelope or a wrapper that is
addressed for return to an address in Canada,

the Corporation shall

(d) return the letter-post items to the country of origin; or

(e) require that the sender of the letter-post items pay to the Corporation full postage calculated at
the rate that would have been applicable if the letter-post items had been posted in Canada.

(2) For the purpose of calculating the postage referred to in paragraph (1)(e), the post office in
Canada at which the letter-post items are received from the other country is deemed to be the
post office of posting.

(3) Where a sender of letter-post items refuses to pay the postage required by the Corporation to
be paid pursuant to paragraph (1)(e), the Corporation shall treat the letter-post items as
undeliverable mail in accordance with the Undeliverable and Redirected Mail Regulations.
