Effective March 19, 2015, the mailing restrictions for Freely Associated States will be listed in the Pull-Out section of the Postal Bulletin and updated periodically.
Mail addressed to freely associated states is subject to certain conditions or restrictions of mailing regarding content, preparation, and handling. The FAS table below outlines these conditions as listed by each affected FAS ZIP Code™ through the use of footnoted mailing restrictions codes (see the Restrictions following the table). For additional information on available extra services for FAS destinations, see Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), part 503.
