South Sudan Post tracking

South Sudan is a republic that recently had its independence from Sudan, in 2011. Since then, after having gone through a long history to achieve it, it was able to issue its first postage stamps in the same year of its independence. So efficient was the issuance of these stamps and letters within the whole national territory, that in only three months later, South Sudan became one of the member countries of the Universal Postal Union. Previously, the entire postal service of this entity was governed by the country itself, but now the South Sudan Post shipping service is in charge of all correspondence and parcels within the new Republic.

Is there a postal service in South Sudan?

In 2011, after achieving its independence and recognition as the Republic of South Sudan, the first stamps were issued in the same year, under the insignia of a Southern Sudanese Pound (SSP).  As time went by, new stamps were created and designed, as well as the cost of each one.
Later, South Sudan began to add other postal services to its business structure. These began to send letters, small packages, and parcels throughout the country and also to the different UPU member countries. However, due to the aggressive inflation that was attacking the country, it was forced to make an increase in its postal rates in 2016.
A couple of years later, the economic situation of the country started to improve progressively, and the rates of the different services offered by South Sudan Post started to be more accessible. Today, SSJUBA has become the leading provider of postal services within the Republic of South Sudan, ensuring that all its services are delivered in an efficient and reliable manner.

The main company of postal services in Sudan classifies the international shipments as SSMAKA so that it is easier to identify the type of service and shipment to where it goes.

Is it dangerous to send a package to South Sudan?

Ten years ago or more it was dangerous to send packages to South Sudan, as the independence of the country was in the middle of a dispute and there were many conflicts between the southern region of Sudan and the rest of the country. These conflicts greatly affected the services and deliveries of national and international postal companies, causing packages to be returned, lost, or even used to bring prohibited materials into different regions of the country.
Over time, South Sudan achieved independence from the rest of Sudan, and conflict between the regions began to cease. This allowed the postal service to operate in a renewed, independent, optimal, and safe way. With the total cessation of the conflicts between the countries, SSMAKA (international) and SSJUBA (national) shipments managed to stabilize normally and the estimated delivery times were met.
Today, Sudan respects all parcels, letters, and postcards sent to its neighboring country South Sudan and the postal company complies with all, or at least 99%, of the deliveries of its parcels.
