IMM REVISION
Canada — Prohibited Articles
Effective December 21, 2006, we are revising Mailing
Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM) to reflect the addition of the prohibition of inert and replica munitions such as inert grenades in
the Individual Country Listing for Canada.
Canada Post has noted that an increasing number of
these items are sent through the postal network. These
items impede security procedures and may disrupt Canada
Post's ability to deliver other postal items. Such items found
in the mail will be destroyed.

whether or not such items are for display purposes.

We will incorporate this revision into the printed version
