"No Circular Mail" Opt-out Sticker Scheme and Exemptions

Circular mail will not be inserted into any delivery point labelled with a "No Circular Mail" sticker.

Senders must include the following statement in their circulars:

"If you would like to opt out from receiving circular mail, please place a "No Circular Mail" sticker on the letter box. The stickers are freely available at all post offices, Public Enquiry Service Centres of District Offices as well as estate management offices of public housing estates and selected private residential developments. However, circular mail posted by the Government and related organisations, Legislative Councillors, District Councillors, election candidates and charitable bodies eligible for tax relief under Section 88 of the Inland Revenue Ordinance are exempted from this opt-out scheme."

Exempted senders could choose to deliver their circular items to all delivery points or those not bearing the "No Circular Mail" stickers. If all delivery points are chosen, the word "EXEMPTED*" should be printed beneath the indicia in the top right corner of the circulars, and the remark below should also be included at the bottom of the same face (or overleaf):

"* This mail is eligible for exemption from "No Circular Mail" Opt-out Sticker Scheme."

For those charitable institutions choosing to deliver their circulars to all delivery points, they are required to produce a copy of the Tax Exemption Certificate issued by Inland Revenue Department under Section 88 of Inland Revenue Ordinance when submitting a posting application.
