Report Description
Terminal dues, which posts use to pay one another for international deliveries of letters and small packages, have generally been set below domestic postage rates. As a result, the terminal dues system fails to cover many postal operators’ processing and delivery costs for international inbound mail and thus hinders competition. Our research shows the terminal dues system creates definite winners and losers among posts and retailers, and comprehensive reform of the system is needed.
