You can ask to see the postal regulations at any post office. some options are: a) Cash On Delivery (COD) in many administrations. When the parcel is delivered to the address, the postman must be paid in cash the amount specified on the packaging. b) Prepayment. Send the cash in an exchangeable currency or send a money telegram, or send International Reply Coupons (IRCs) which can be purchased at any post office. Under Universal Postal Union (UPU) regulations (it's a specialised agency of the United Nations) IRCs must be made available for purchase by the public. You may have to pay more than the exchange value of them however.
