Guidelines for using the "No Circular Mail" Stickers

1. Proper Display of Sticker
   Place a "No Circular Mail" sticker at the top right hand area of the front of the letter box. To ensure that the sticker is effective, the recipient(s) in respect of such letter box should make sure that it is properly placed on the letter box concerned and is clearly visible. Hongkong Post shall not be responsible for any misplacement or loss of any sticker.
   
   
2. Exemptions
   Unaddressed circular mail will not be delivered to letter boxes/delivery points labelled with a "No Circular Mail" sticker (except those from government and related organisations, Legislative Councillors/District Councillors, election candidates and charitable institutions or trusts of a public character which are exempt from tax under Section 88 of Inland Revenue Ordinance). The scheme, however, is not applicable to unaddressed promotional items not delivered through Hongkong Post or any addressed advertising mail.
   
   
3. Collective Agreement
   Consensus must be reached on an opt-out from receiving circular mail by all the recipients (individual persons or organisations) of a mailing address. Hongkong Post will not be liable for any disputes or claims arising from the affixing of a "No Circular Mail" sticker.
   
   
4. Addresses without a letter box
   For mailing addresses without a letter box, the "No Circular Mail" sticker should be placed at a conspicuous position of the front door.
