French term

tarif lent (in France)

French to English Bus/Financial
Is this the same as "standard rate" or is there a special "slow rate"?

Les frais postaux engendrés par la demande de remboursement seront remboursés sur la base du tarif lent français en vigueur.

Thanks,
RG

agree Bourth (X) : Green stamps! But forf UK consumption at least, I think "2nd Class" is better.

disagree Bourth (X) : Tarif lent means the green stamps, as opposed to the red ones, for light letters (within France).

so what ? je ne comprends pas le sens de ton disagree, de + la grande majorité du timbrage se fait avec des machines à timbrer ou des cachets postaux mécaniques qui n'ont pas la couleur verte ; low rate = slow mail ici, que le timbre soit vert ou non
