The article titled “IMM Revision: Country Listings Name Changes” published in Postal Bulletin 22386 (4-3-14, pages 10–12) announced that we would incorporate revisions to certain country names in various parts of Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) effective May 5, 2014.
However, the Postal Service™ will delay implementing changes for two country names until a later date to be determined to ensure that we can simultaneously launch all systems associated with implementing these changes.
The two postponed changes are as follows:
n The name change from “Saint Christopher and Nevis” to “Saint Kitts and Nevis” in section 142.4b, Exhibit 213.5, Exhibit 292.452a, Exhibit 371.2, the Index of Countries and Localities, and the Individual Country Listings.
n The name change of “Tokelau (Union Group) (Western Samoa)” to “Tokelau (New Zealand)” in the Index of Countries and Localities.
In a subsequent Postal Bulletin article, we will announce the date for when we will implement the changes for these two country names.
