Junk 10c while another one frankless, both applied with “Swatow Kwangyi Dispatch / Annam Kiyuan remittance” vertical seal. Similar with incoming Qiaopi, outgoing Qiaopi were also sent in bulk. Howerver, as French Indochina did not allow sending Qiaopi in bulk in 1927, China Post followed suit accordingly.
