On September 3, 2012, Chinese ambassador to South Sudan Li Zhiguo met with South Sudanese Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services in a ceremony donating 100,000 stamps to South Sudan. The stamps were intended to commemorate South Sudan's first year of independence, and included images of South Sudan's national emblem as well as animals unique to or common in South Sudan. The exact value of the stamps donated is unknown.

As a result, the Flow Class is OOF-like.
