Abstract

The terminal dues system of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) is a signal failure in modern international trade policy. Over the last three decades, rising competition and regulatory reform have rendered domestic postal services more cost based and efficient. Not so internationally. More than a quarter century after the above observation by the U.S. Department of Justice, the UPU’s terminal dues system continues to produce large distortions in the exchange of international postal delivery services, distortions which also skew the larger market for international delivery services.
