History
editThe current postal service of People's Republic of China was established in 1949. It replaced the Chunghwa Post in mainland China in 1949, as well as in the Universal Postal Union in 1972. It was formerly administered by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. China Post is directly supervised by the State Post Bureau which has overall responsibility for regulating postal service in China. The State Post Bureau is an agency reporting to the Ministry of Information Industry of the People's Republic of China.[citation needed]

China Post Service
editInternational services for China Post include Small Parcel, Large Package and EMS. The Small parcel and large package of China Post can be tracked if registered. According to transportation methods, it can be divided into three categories: Air Parcel, Surface Air Lift (SAL) Parcel, and Surface Parcel. China Post air mail/parcel is the most popular because it is cheap and convenient. EMS is faster than China Post Mail but more expensive.[6]
The average delivery speed depends on the type of service and the trade and communication links with the destination country of the cargo or parcel. For instance, the delivery time for cargo from China to the USA, regardless of the service type, is approximately 19 days.
China Post does currently not offer shipping by boat to the United States from Mainland China. This policy went into effect November 2021.[citation needed]
