Publication 51 Revision: Mailability of Small Packets to Cuba

Effective December 4, 2008, the Postal Service™ is revising Publication 51, International Postal Prices and Fees, to allow the mailings of small packets to Cuba. Currently, Publication 51 stipulates Priority Mail Interna­tional™ “package services” are not available to Cuba. “Package services” include both small packets up to 4 pounds and parcels. Therefore, we are revising this stan­dard by changing the verbiage “package services” to “parcels” to clarify that Priority Mail International parcels are not accepted. This revision is consistent with the change we are making in the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®).

We will incorporate this revision into the online version of the Publication 51, which can be accessed via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
