Postal Services
BT&P is in charge with the supervision on compliance of the postal laws and concession conditions on behalf of the government.
The postal services on the Netherlands Antilles have been licensed to Nieuwe Post N.V., a company wholly-owned by Canada Post International Limited (CPIL), who have taken full commercial responsibility for postal operations for the next twenty years. NPNA is a monopolist for distributing transactional letters below 2 kilograms.
Others can distribute items in this category as long as delivery times are faster. A wide range of providers currently provide services delivering parcels heavier than 2 kilograms or deliver lighter parcels at a higher speed.
Recently BT&P surveyed these service providers for registration purposes and drafted a policy that will make official registration of these providers mandatory. This law is still pending approval. Once in place, BT&P will have the tools to control and supervise the postal provider network of the Netherlands Antilles.
