"It is the responsibility of the senders to ensure payment of sufficient postage for their mail and include the sender's address. Insufficient postage will lead to a delay in delivery and a surcharge will be levied," a spokesperson for Hongkong Post said.
The principal postage adjustments of the basic tier for posting letters will be as follows:
- local letters weighing 30 grams or less will be adjusted from the existing postage of $2 to $2.20;
- letters by airmail weighing 20g or less to the Mainland and Taiwan will be adjusted from the existing postage of $3.40 to $3.70, while those to other places will be adjusted from $3.70-$5 to $4-$5.50; and
- letters by surface mail weighing 20g or less to the Mainland, Macao and Taiwan will be adjusted from the existing postage of $2.60 to $2.80, while those to other places will be adjusted from $3.20-$4.80 to $3.50-$5.30.
Postage calculators and a "Correct Addressing" tool are available on the Hongkong Post website and Hongkong Post mobile app to help calculate correct postages and check local addresses.
