Hongkong Post, a designated operator of China (specifically for the special administrative region of Hong Kong), wishes to inform Union member countries and their designated operators that a black level rainstorm warning was issued on 5 August 2025 at 5.50 local time. The processing and delivery of all mail (letters, parcels and EMS) will be affected. The impact is expected to last for at least a day upon service resumption, until the backlogs can be cleared. Hongkong Post thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding and will provide further updates via EmIS.
