Express mail service (EMS) is a premium Express courier mail service for letters, documents and merchandise. Generally EMS articles have a maximum weight of 20kg and are unique to other mail in that they afford senders and addressees the ability to track consignments on the internet using a unique tracking number.
EMS articles are in two categories – documents and merchandise.
International parcels
International parcels are any articles which are not an Air Mail letter or other mail. Generally these articles weigh between 2kgs and 20kgs and have a size limit of 105cm in length and 140cm in girth/width. International parcels can arrive by air or sea.
Like EMS this service also affords senders and addressees the ability to track their consignment on the internet using a unique tracking number.
Registered Post International
Registered Post International provides additional security for letters and documents weighing up to 2 kgs.
Air mail letters includes items such as aerogrammes and greeting cards.
Other mail
Other mail includes any articles that do not fit into the air mail letter categories eg items weighing more than 500 grams but less than 2kgs. This class of mail is referred to as Other Articles (OAs) and can be further divided into small packets, large packets and printed matter during sorting.
Small packets are articles that can weigh up to 500 grams.
Other/large packets are articles which weigh less than 2 kilograms.
Printed matter means newspapers, brochures, books and magazines; these are normally wrapped and bundled in plastic, but may also come as loose articles.
