Postal operator warns about potential delays in mail delivery to China

The Lithuanian postal operator Lietuvos Pastas (Lithuanian Post) has warned about potential delays in the delivery of mail sent from Lithuania to China starting from early April as the postal service of China has temporarily suspended international mail acceptance.

Lietuvos Pastas reported on Friday that it continued to accept mail addressed to China but warned that its acceptance might be suspended temporarily taking into account the situation.

The closure of Ukrainian airspace for civilian aircraft due to the war and changes in airlines’ routes to avoid Russia’s territory had led to difficulties in mail delivery to other Asian countries, in particular Japan, the Lithuanian postal operator explained.
