The Netherlands
Short Paid Aerogramme


This aerogramme (Greiner no. 21) was sent from AMSTERDAM (slogan cancel 23.11.76) to Haifa, Israel.



The aerogramme rate to Israel in November 1976 was 75 c. Hence, the aerogramme was short paid 15 c.

According to the rules established by the 1974 UPU Congress, underpaid items "... shall be marked with the T stamp (postage due) in the middle of the upper part of the front: beside the impression of this stamp the administration of origin shall write very legibly in the currency of its country the amount of the underpayment, and under a fraction line, that of its charge valid for the first weight step for letters dispatched by surface mail" (Article 135, 1).

The postal clerk in the Netherlands used a fixed 15/75 T stamp.  

On arrival in Israel, a boxed h/s was applied. The h/s text in Hebrew letters reads "Removed from .. (???) .. for collecting the missing postage".
