Effective January 22, 2012, the Postal Service™ is revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to reflect current standards for mailers who send authorized dutiable items to Cuba.
The article “IMM Revision: Updated Standards for Mailing Items to Cuba” in Postal Bulletin 22268 (9-24-09, pages 14–19) announced new standards for items mailed to Cuba. Consequently, certain dutiable items that were previously nonmailable to Cuba became mailable, and the following sentence that appears in the Priority Mail International® section of the Individual Country Listing for Cuba should have been deleted: “May not contain dutiable items.”
