Postal Korea, North - information about carrier

The North Korean Postal Service (Korean: 조선의 체신체계; MR: Chosŏnŭi ch'e * sinch'ekye) or Korean Post (Korean: 조선 우편; MR: Chosŏn uyyŏn) is operated by the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications and Communication Upkeep Bureau, which supervise postal communications, telegrams, phone service, TV broadcasts, newspapers and other related products.

Similar to much of North Korea, internal information regarding the Postal Service is hard to come by and what is found out normally originates from stories of North Korean defectors, the minimal variety of global company activities and a handful of North Korean research institutes.

Prior to the scarcity in the 1990s, telegram service normally took less than a week and the government offered bicycles to the offices to make sure delivery. Nevertheless, during the scarcity (likewise called the "Arduous March"), postal shipment ended up being more and more sporadic due to food, electrical power and fuel lacks. Sometimes it might have taken over a month for a letter to be sent out from the north of the country to Pyongyang, which is only a couple of hundred kilometers away and, sometimes, it is rumored, the postal train staff members would burn the letters in order to keep warm.

In 1992, the Ministry's minister and all higher-level authorities were fired, with the minister and vice-minister and their families being detained and sent out to jail camps for embezzlement, and squandering funds purchasing damaged fiber optic producing devices from the UK.

Given that 1993, there has actually been fiber optic telephone service available in locations, which homeowners call the "light telephone". This has actually decreased the dependence of residents on telegrams and letters.

Each province has a branch of the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications and each "Ri" (village) has a postal service workplace to deliver telegrams, packages and letters. Representatives of the North Korean National Security Agency are stationed at the Ministry's workplace to inspect mail and display homeowners.

Regardless of having a postal system and other state-run communications companies, word of mouth stays the most typical method details is spread throughout the nation.

Postal service between North and South Korea does not exist. North Korea is under several economic sanctions which seriously limit what can lawfully be sent to the country. In the United States, any mail is regulated by the Office of Foreign Assets Control and limits mail to first-class letters/postcards and matter for the blind. All merchandise, currency, valuable metals, precious jewelry, chemical/biological/radioactive materials and others are restricted.
