HIGHER RATES FOR MAIL TO PAKISTAN

03

Mail sent from Hong Kong to Pakistan will be charged more as

from next Monday (October 16) following the abolition of preferential

Commonwealth postage rates to Pakistan.

Announcing this today, a spokesman for the Post Office said

that surface mail to Pakistan will be charged at the non-Commonwealth

rates of 50 cents for the first ounce for letters and 30 cents for

postcards.

Under the existing preferential system, surface letters are charged 30 cents for the first ounce and postcards 25 cents.

The change has been made following Pakistan's recent withdrawal

from the Commonwealth.
