61. CPCOs and WO/SNCO/NCO IC FPOs are reminded that the use of BFPO’s by customers, who are operating a business overseas for personal gain, are not authorised to use the BFPO facilities to forward or receive mail items connected with that business.

The MOD pays for the transportation of mail to and from overseas by air or surface means. To allow customers to use the BFPO to operate a business for personal gain would constitute an abuse of public money.

62. Individuals, who are authorised to operate businesses overseas, are to be advised that they should use local civilian post offices to receive or send goods connected with their business, whereby full international rates of postage will be paid. Those who breach this regulation disciplinary action may be taken.
