No such parcel shall be accepted if it is so small or so covered with writing or sealing wax, or otherwise made up in such a manner, as to render it impracticable to affix to some part of it the form of declaration prescribed by the Director General in addition to the official labels to be applied to the address-side of the parcel.Explanation. - This rule shall not apply to a parcel which has an address label tied to it, provided that the label is not so small or so covered with writing as to render it impracticable to affix to one side of the label of it the form of declaration prescribed by the Director General in addition to the official labels to be applied to the address-side.
