was normally paid by affixing stamps on the item.
Air mail postcard with 7 cent. Correct rate 11
cent. Shortpaid 4 cent. US due handstamp indicates double deficiency 2x4=8
cent and foreign letter rate 11 cent. In Sweden 8/11 of foreign letter
rate 60 öre = 43.64 öre rounded up to 45 öre. A correct
label has been affixed, but by mistake only 40 öre as due.
