Sec. 145.5  Undeliverable packages.

    Mail articles which are refused or undeliverable, except mail 
articles for which a mail fine entry has been issued in accordance with 
Sec. 145.4(c), will be marked by the postmaster to show why delivery was 
not made, and will be forwarded to the proper exchange post office for 
return to the country of origin. Mail entries will be removed from the 
mail articles and returned to Customs for cancellation. If, for any 
reason, an undeliverable mail article known or supposed to be dutiable 
is not returned to the country of origin or forwarded to another country 
in accordance with the Postal regulations, it will be delivered to 
Customs for disposition under the Customs laws and regulations governing 
seized or unclaimed merchandise.
