Zimbabwe: 1985 Aerogramme Form Sent Unpaid to the UK


Aerogramme form sent unpaid from Hararae, Zimbabwe, on 9 SEP 1985 to the UK. Taxed "18 / 20", which is 18 cent for the missing postage in the tax fraction's numerator and 20 cent for Zimbabwe's UPU letter rate in the denominator.

Marked "Insufficient prepaid for / Transmission by airmail"

In the UK, this tax fraction was multiplied with the UPU letter rate (22p), yielding 19.8p. Consequently, 19p were noted as the postage due in the boxed taxation handstamp. In accordance with UPU's Lausanne taxation system a handling surcharge of 25p was added for a total postage due of 44p.
