Temporary suspension of surface parcel service to Canada
Our acceptance of various international mail items has been temporarily suspended due to the novel coronavirus pandemic. Moreover, due to delayed sailings caused by the worldwide shortage of containers, we will temporarily suspend surface parcel service to Canada effective May 19.
Items that have already been accepted will be dispatched on remaining sailings in the order of their acceptance. Arrival of surface mail in the destination country may be delayed by around three months compared with the normal transport time owing to cargo congestion.
✔: Acceptable, X: Acceptance suspended, -: No service
*Some kinds of ordinary airmail letter-post items are accepted. For details, please see here.
