As a result, the Postal Service is currently unable to accept items destined for Kuwait at any Post Office or postal facility location, effective April 3 until further notice. Customers are asked to refrain from entering items addressed to Kuwait into the USPS system effective immediately.

When remailing under this option, customers must cross out the markings “Mail Service Suspended — Return to Sender.”
Unless otherwise noted, service suspensions to a particular country do not affect delivery of military and diplomatic mail.
