PARCELS FROM OVERSEAS.
LEVY BY POST OFFICE. A charge of 3d on every parcel from overseas passing through the New Zealand Postal Department came into force on March 1. Hitherto no charge has been levied and the only payment necessary has been the amount of duty assessed by the Customs Department. The innovation has been decided upon as a means of augmenting the revenue, and a postal official stated yesterday that all parcels from overseas, whether they contained a pair of socks or a piano, would be subject to the levy.
