Dubai: Emirates Post Group has advised corporate and individual post office box subscribers to strictly follow rules and regulations to avoid facing penalties.
According to Federal Law No 14, 2007, business owners are required to have a company P.O. box for each trade licence, which cannot be shared with other companies. In any large establishment, each trade licence holder is required to have his own P.O. box, and cannot use a general post-box for receiving mail. Holders of personal P.O. boxes are also not allowed to use their addresses to receive company mail but should upgrade to a corporate P.O. box.
“The P.O. box system is governed by specific rules, and Emirates Post Group has now decided to carry out inspections to detect misuse or inappropriate use of P.O. boxes by corporate as well as individual users,” said Ebrahim Bin Karam, Chief Commercial Officer, Emirates Post Group.
The move comes after several instances of violations of rules pertaining to the use of corporate and personal P.O. boxes.
