1969 short paid Italy-Israel surface mail cover taxed postage dues

Description: 1969 incoming Italian postage due mail: 31 Mar 1969 postmarked surface mailed commercial cover sent from ROME to TEL AVIV, short-paid at 50L and marked for tax in Italy using the 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 cover was deficient 40L for the 90L rate, and was being charged 80L as tax. In Israel this ratio was multiplied by the country's period surface rate of 30 agorot, and the resulting postage dues charge came to 27ag, rounded to the nearest denominated stamp available - here 30ag, paid in TEL AVIV using a 1969 Ports of Israel frank (Ba #419); slit open at top. Ironically the 1st Town Emblems definitive series which had smaller denominations, including 25ag, came out 24 March but was apparently unavailable. --- 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.
