Without prejudice to article 66 of the Act, there shall not be posted, or tendered or made over in order to be transmitted by post, or delivered by post, any postal article:

(a) containing any imitation of a currency note or of a bank note or any of the forged instruments referred to in articles 166, 167 and 168 of the Criminal Code; or

(b) containing any material of any kind whatsoever, the possession or transmission of which would constitute a criminal offence at law; or

(d) having thereon, or on the cover thereof, any words, letters or marks which are used without due authority but which signify or imply, or may reasonably lead the recipient to believe, that the postal article is sent on Government Service; or

(e) such size, form or colour or so made up for transmission by post as to be likely to embarrass the officers of the postal operator in dealing with the postal article; or

(f) having anything written, printed or impressed upon or attached thereto which, either by tending to prevent the easy and quick reading of the address on the postal article or by inconvenient proximity to the stamp or stamps used in the payment of postage, or in any other way, is in itself, or in the manner in which it is written, printed, impressed or attached, likely to embarrass the officers of the postal operator in dealing with the postal article; or

(g) whereon the payment of postage or fees purports to be denoted by any stamp or impression which has been previously used to denote payment of the postage or fees on any other postal article; or

(h) containing any narcotic or psychotropic substance or any other drug or medicine unless its transmission by post is authorized by or under law; or

(i) containing radioactive materials except where a postal arrangement exists for the transmission of such materials.
