Four copies of the invoice one of them signed by the sender in ink, must be sent by letter mail to the addressee.

In the case of noncommercial shipments of a casual nature, the senders need not furnish invoices, as the Canadian customs authorities will make delivery on the basis of forms completed by the addressees.

Interested mailers can secure information as to obtaining and preparing forms M-A and N-A, as well as other information concerning the Canadian customs

regulations, from the European Division (Canadian Section), Bureau of International Commerce, Department of Commerce, Washington, D.C. 20230, or any field office of that Department.

Mailers must ascertain whether the addressees of parcels containing honey bees are located at places to which such shipments can be sent. This information can be obtained from the Canadian postmaster at the office of address. After obtaining the information, the sender must mark the wrapper of his parcel "Office of address served by R.P.O." or "Office of address served by motor vehicle." Postmasters I will refuse to accept parcels containing honey bees for Canada unless they bear such endorsement.
