> This is why sometime this year people who receive such mail will be billed additional fees increasing slowly over the next few years.

Interesting, got a source for that?

Yeah, not a word about "people who receive such mail will be billed additional fees". It mentions that the sender in China will be charged more over time.

Quite a difference.

From all the people I have talked to about this especially makers who order alot from China, it was my understanding that this is what the post office will do. It is probably also the only thing they can do and they already have a system in place to collect such fees.

How will the Swiss Post Office charge the sender in China a higher fee? It is much easier to charge a fee to the receiver who is in Switzerland.
