International Service
The year of 2002 saw a stable development
of international postal services. The total revenue of international services
came up to 1.754 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth of 5.18%. As the response
to the needs of the market, China Post established more international presences
and introduced some new services such as bulky parcels, direct access, SAL
and express mails. And much effort has been made to foster the market of
international direct mail and business reply service. The parcel services
also developed rapidly since we improved the process of collection, transfer
and trace&track of parcels. Two exchange offices were opened in Suzhou
and Xi'an in order to improve the transportation of mails and reinforce
the supervision over the processing of the international mails in China
and time limit of transmission. The quality of services has been considerably
improved because we revised the quality standards and put emphasis on the
training of the employees working on the counters. Above that, Regulations
on International Postal Services was compiled and released. And the timely
revision of the Regulations based on the actual practices made the operation
and management of international postal services more systematic and scientific.
