SAL mail delivery to France and other countries |
NOTICE: SAL mail delivery has returned to normal operations as of 1 July 2019
(Excluding Crimea and Sevastopol, Ukraine)
December 15, 2017
Air France Cargo and KLM Cargo informed us on December 7 that SAL mail items bound for France and other countries would experience delay in processing at their facilities for the time being. Therefore, a long delay in delivery of SAL mail items, which have already been sent or will be sent to the destinations in the tables below, is expected.
In addition, we are temporarily suspending acceptance of SAL mail items sent from Japan destined to the destinations in the first table from December 18, 2017.
In this regard, it would be appreciated if you could use EMS, Airmail or Surface mail services bound for these destinations because these services are available as usual.
Thank you for your kind understanding of this situation and cooperation.
