Posted by | Jul 19, 2005 | |

The Conference of Asia Pacific Express Carriers, or CAPEC, an interest group representing the world’s top express courier firms in Asia, has asked China’s State Post Bureau (China Post) to further lower restrictions and interference in the mainland’s express mail service sector as the regulator is finalizing the amended rules. CAPEC, which represents DHL, FedEx Corp, United Parcel Service and TNT Express, has sent a statement urging China Post to set up a regulatory board separated from its business service department, reduce administrative interference in the industry and increase transparency. “As China is gradually opening its logistics and express market to foreign investors, no major foreign companies want to miss the opportunity to tap the emerging market,” an industry source said.

One of the world’s largest package delivery companies will stop delivering cigarettes to individual consumers nationwide under an agreement with New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer. Spitzer said DHL is the first major shipping company to agree to the ban and negotiations continue with other companies and the U.S. Postal Service. The agreement follows a March deal in which major credit card companies began refusing to participate in Internet sale of cigarettes nationwide. The agreement with Spitzer and the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is aimed at ending a common method for youths to obtain cigarettes, which can’t legally be sold to people under 18 years old.
