The weight of an air mail bag or air TB should not exceed 30 KG.
Registered Bundle: A registered bundle is a collection of faced, uninsured registered articles of the letter mail placed, together with a registered list, in a prescribed form of envelope, carefully gummed and sealed, or if necessary, in a dosuti bag, tied and sealed in the ordinary way, with the label showing distinctly that it is a "registered bundle” and not a 'registered bag'. Registered bundles are not due, but are made up, ordinarily, when the number of registered articles to be enclosed exceeds two, they are treated in sorting as a single registered article.
