Description: 1968 incoming US postcard taxed postage dues: 11 July 1968 postmarked airmailed oversized picture postcard (Howard Johnson's motor lodge), sent from NEW YORK to intern at organization in TEL AVIV & franked 13c - but taxed in the US for short-payment: using the taxe fraction method instituted as of 1 Jan 1966 by the Universal Postal Union's (UPU) Vienna convention, of the sending postal administration indicating the amount owed as twice the deficiency in the numerator and the country's base letter surface postage rate in the denominator - here the postcard was deficient 12c for the 13c rate, and charged 24c as the tax. In Israel this ratio was multiplied by the country's period worldwide surface rate of 30 agorot which yielded a postage dues fee of 55ag, which was paid at TEL AVIV-87 (Tel Nordau branch post office) on 15 July using a 1968 Memorial Day frank (Ba #400) & delivered the same day. --- Most of our merchandise ships out from Israel | orders are combined | additional items are charged 75c: DOMESTIC services available are Registered mail (default) and courier mail.
