Freely Associated States (FAS) Restrictions

Effective March 19, 2015, the mailing restrictions for Freely Associated States will be listed in the Pull-Out section of the Postal Bulletin and updated periodically.

Freely Associated States

Mail addressed to freely associated states is subject to certain conditions or restrictions of mailing regarding content, preparation, and handling. The FAS table below outlines these conditions as listed by each affected FAS ZIP Code™ through the use of footnoted mailing restrictions codes (see the Restrictions fol­lowing the table). For additional information on available extra services for FAS destinations, see Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), part 503.

Acceptance clerks should use the table with the POS ONE terminal to determine which FAS ZIP Codes are active and which conditions of mailing apply. Inquiries may be sent to Randall Sobol at randall.f.sobol@usps.gov.
