Lausanne Handling Postage Due Charge System was introduced in 1976
The excellent Postal History Corner web page has this information for its implementation in Sweden in 1981.
The country of origin's T fraction was changed to SINGLE the amount of the underpayment over the country of origin's international letter rate. The country of delivery still multiplied the fraction by its international letter rate but added a HANDLING CHARGE
The Swedish international letter rate from June 1/81 to May 31/83 was 240 øre, and there was a handling fee of 150 øre.
I have a cover from Canada to Sweden posted in 1976 that is 4 cents short paid with a final charge in Sweden of 130 ore. Does anyone know the Swedish internation rate and handeling charge for 1976.
