What are Joint Issues?

Joint issues are postage stamps issued by two countries on the same theme, often commemorating shared history, culture, or diplomatic milestones. China Post has issued joint stamps with 38 countries since 1990, beginning with J.166 Norman Bethune Centenary (with Canada, 3 March 1990).

Collecting Value

Joint issues are prized by collectors for their cultural significance and artistic collaboration. Many feature complementary designs across partner nations, making them fascinating for thematic collections. Serial numbers and printers given in our catalogue follow official China Post records.
