Effective January 27, 2013, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to reflect various changes in the Individual Country Listings (ICL) for Peru. These revisions are made at the formal request of Serpost (the designated operator that provides postal services in Peru).
