Regulations Respecting the Posting Abroad of Letter-Post Items These Regulations may be cited as the Posting Abroad of Letter-Post Items Regulations. In these Regulations, large quantities, in respect of letter-post items, means more than 50 such items posted on any one day or more than 300 such items posted in any month by or on behalf of a person; (grandes quantités) letter-post item has the same meaning as in the International Letter-post Items Regulations; (envoi de la poste aux lettres) person means an individual, sole proprietorship, partnership or incorporated entity. (personne) 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.
