General
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
the letter-post items are posted in large quantities,
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
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
return the letter-post items to the country of origin; or
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.
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.
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.
