TAPESCRIPT
Before the invention of the postage stamp, it was difficult to send a letter to another country. The
British post office made the first stamps in 1840. Other countries started to make their own postage stamps very
quickly the following years. In 1874, a German postal official, drew up a plan for an international postal union.
And at his suggestion, the Universal Postal Union (UPU) was born. Each country in the UPU agreed to accept
letters with prepaid postage from the other members. The UPU became a specialized agency of the United
Nations (UN) in 1948.
Today the UPU’s headquarters is in Switzerland. Almost every country in the world is a member of this
organization. Each of the 189 member countries pays transportation charges to members who carry
international mail across their borders. The charges are determined by the UPU. The UPU takes care of all
international mail problems.
