n Upon signature by the applicant, confirms the applicant’s understanding that the Package Intercept service fee is nonrefundable; there is no guarantee that the item can be intercepted before delivery; and the item may incur additional postage due upon delivery to the sender.
n Provides detailed instructions for completing the form.
