    The foregoing instructions shall be followed in the treatment of

dispatches made up for transmission directly to a post office located at 
a customs port at which no plant quarantine inspector is stationed. Such 
packages (accompanied by customs card Form 3511) shall be forwarded by

his official penalty envelope addressed to the collector of customs at 
the most accessible location listed for appropriate treatment as 
prescribed herein.
