2 THE HARBOUR POST OFFICE

2.1 THE EXCHANGE OF MAIL WITH OVERSEAS COUNTRIES

On 1 December 1923 the Polish Post Office in Danzig
ceased the system of preparing individual parcel cards
for parcels arriving from the USA. Instead, the small
labels with the table for calculating postage due were
simply pasted onto one of the two Customs
declarations that were made for each parcel by the
American Post Offices.
