10 Billing with
details of zones
You will receive an invoice; this invoice (or the annex to it) will give details of service levels (Priority/Standard),
zones, airwaybill numbers, job reference (if provided) and additional services.

11 Return of
undeliverable items
A sender's address is not necessarily required provided either that these items do not contain goods or that no
tracking service is used. Based on the sender’s instruction in the PPI, undeliverable items are returned by the
Return Service Center of Deutsche Post AG(RSC) to the sender.

Undeliverable packets will be returned to the sender within the EU. For returns you must indicate a dedicated PO
box in the postage print impression. If this specific PO box is missing, return to the sender cannot be guaranteed.
The destruction of items by Deutsche Post AG is not possible. Only items including exclusively paper can be
destroyed. If the sender does not meet the requirements, surcharges for investigation and identification of a
deliverable return address will be invoiced separately. You will receive the specific PO box from your local sales
support team. In addition, the GT&Cs Deutsche Post AG International Business, Dialogue Marketing, Packet apply.
