Which countries no longer allow stamps on mail?

Collecting Stamps or generally interested in philately? You may write about everything here but better stick to subjects that relate to stamps and appeal to collectors. Mind you we have a separate category and forum for philatelic products.

Which countries no longer allow stamps on mail?

帖子topicalstamps »

It appears that some countries no longer allow the use of postage stamps on mail (even though they may still produce stamps), for example:

-Pakistan (Pakistan Post) announced around May 2020 that stamp on INTERNATIONAL mail from Pakistan to other countries is no longer allowed (so it seems only stamps on domestic mail are allowed)

-Iran (Post Company of the I.R. Iran) no longer allows stamps on any mail even though it still produces them

Have collectors heard of other countries not allowing stamps on mail anymore?

there is a recent thread over on the stampboards formum that deals with this

https://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=106427

In most cases the restrictions are to use of stamps on registered mail, but some countries are now not allowing them for any class of mail

though this is the first that I have heard of Iran not allowing use.

And Denmark will cease using postage stamps completely starting in January 2026 if I understnd correctly, which means that there likely will be no more new issues from Denmark after this year.
