Met de buitenland brief wordt het document bedoeld dat reisbureaus na boeking aan hun klanten sturen met informatie over het land van bestemming: lokale gebruiken, openingstijden banken/winkels, inentingen, wat voor stekker kun je gebruiken, contactadressen reisorganisatie, het klimaat, verkeersregels, enz. enz.

Helaas...de juiste vertaling heb ik niet voor je.

agree Adela Van Gils : ja; a stencil with information regarding the country one is going to visit

agree Meturgan : country information, see above

agree writeaway : does ring a very distant bell.that would be an information sheet I think. Am amazed they still feel there is a need for this considering that such a large percentage of the population travels abroad on a regular basis. :-)

“GREEN CARD” – international insurance card

:)
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : wouldn't that come from a car insurance company (since it's for car insurance) and not a travel agency? how would you translate 'groene kaart'?

Foreign mail/post; (sending a) letter abroad

Perhaps this is just short-hand for "een brief naar het buitenland", e.g. "Weet iemand waar ik deze productgroupid's van TPGpost kan vinden?

Om mijn eigen vraag te beantwoorden: dit zijn de codes die worden gebruikt:

1 = binnenland brief
2 = binnenland pakket
3 = binnenland aangetekend
4 en verder = partijenpost

11 = buitenland brief "

ref. http://www.oscommerce.nl/forums/index.php?showtopic=971&st=1...

i.e. sending / posting / mailing a letter abroad, or foreign mail/post?

HTH.
Peer comment(s):

neutral writeaway : really a bit unlikely in this particular context (but certainly fine generally speaking)
