About 30 tons of small parcels with a volume of up to two kilograms were sent abroad through the post of Uzbekistan, Trend reports referring to Uzbek media.

“The post office has an extensive network, which consists of 2,000 objects in all settlements of Uzbekistan, and any entrepreneur can send his goods at the nearest office according to the orders received.
