The Department of Posts has decided to increase the charges for airmails, Postmaster General Ranjith Ariyaratne said.
Ariyaratne said that the hike in charges will come into effect from the 01st of August 2022.
Meanwhile, Sri Lanka has lifted the restriction that had been imposed on postal goods from certain foreign countries.
The Department of Posts had earlier suspended the acceptance of postal goods from the United States, the Netherlands, Israel, and Russia.
The suspension was imposed as a result of the restriction of flights due to the fuel crisis in Sri Lanka.
However, Postmaster General Ranjith Ariyaratne announced today that the restriction imposed on three countries has been lifted.
He said thereby, that the acceptance of postal goods from the United States, the Netherlands, and Israel will resume. (NewsWire)
