International correspondence includes letters, postcards, printed matters, newspapers, documents for the blind, and small parcels.
The handling procedures are divided into ordinary letters and special letters (registration, express delivery, acknowledgement by receipt, recipient personal signing, and insurance). Ordinary letters don't require personal signing for delivery, and there is no inquiry and compensation services for international correspondence. Important letters are advised to be sent by registered mail to ensure safety.

SDR (Special Drawing Rights) is the currency unit used for international postal settlement.

The current SDR/NT dollar ratio is 1:47

(03) 3833776 ext. 241-243 for outgoing letters or ext. 271-273 for outgoing parcels.

If the country name or address is not clearly written or incomplete, the mail will be returned to sender. Please rewrite the complete information so that the mail can be properly delivered to the destination country and the recipient.

Undeliverable letters will be returned to sender, but undeliverable printed matter is subject to the destination country's own proposal, and chances are it will not be returned.

There are a number of possibilities: one is post office daytime delivery with no one at home, so the recipient has to pick up the mail at a nearby post office; another is that an imported parcel is required by the customs to be picked up with certain procedures or tax payments, so the recipient has to go to the post office for pickup.
