According to Afghanistan UPU Circular 177 published in 2007, this series is denounced as illegally produced and distributed because it is not listed in the UPU WNS system. It is only listed in the general stamp category because it is still listed by Yvert et Tellier. Should this status change in the future, it will be moved to the illegal stamps category.
Numerous series produced in 2003 by this printer also known as The Fine Arts Company Sarl have been denounced as illegal as well by other countries. See the end sections of the Benin 2003 illegal stamps category for further research.
