Republic of the Marshall Islands and Federated States of Micronesia

Under agreements negotiated by the United States government with the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia, mail destined to those two countries will now use the international rate schedules. The new rates will be phased in over at least 5 years. We published new country listings for the Republic of the Marshall Islands and the Federated States of Micronesia in the November 23, 2005, Federal Register. The notice is available on our Rapid Information Bulletin Board System (RIBBS) at http://ribbs.usps.gov (click on Federal Register Notices in the left-hand column). We also will include the new country listings in the International Mail Manual (IMM) on Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com beginning January 8, 2006.
