Answer:
There is an international reciprical agreement with mail. It is a very old agreement and works on the principle that every country charges the one fee for mail and the country the mail is posted from keeps the payment. It was agreed that the recipient would almost certainly reply so that the mail over the course of time would work out that one cost would cover the other. The cost of setting administration in place to work out if one country received more or less mail in the course of time would probably make the whole thing much more expensive and probably interfere with the efficiency of the system already in place There is an old saying. If it aint broke, don't fix it 00

when you post to another country it costs more, so i assume that cost you pay covers the cost of delivering it across a country or two.
you are paying for the plane to take it over to the country it's like the same the other way from a country to England

I'd imagine the sending company pays the receiving company a fee for onward carriage of the mail.
