Although this issue was authorized by the Burundi postal administration, virtually the whole issue was not sold in Burundi, but only distributed by the Burundi philatelic agency Stamperija for distribution onto the philatelic market.
This issue is still being sold on the Stamperija website over a decade later as of the year 2024. This issue is extensively offered in online venues in mint condition.
Imperforate versions were not used regularly on commercial mailings.
