  3. Close the envelope as directed on its back side.
  4. Give an address of a recipient, a sender and an insured value in the reserved place of the envelope. The insured value shall be given in a numerical statement rounded on whole euros.

Attach to the registered letters abroad that are subject to customs procedure the Customs Declaration CN 22 completed.
