IMM Revision: Adding Separate Insurance Information for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba

Effective January 4, 2018, the Postal Service™ is revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®), Exhibit 322.2, to provide a separate entry for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, reflecting their status as special municipalities within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. We are also revising the entry for Curacao to remove references to these municipalities (which previously had been served through Curacao).

In the article titled “IMM Revision: Adding Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba as a Separate Country Listing” in Postal Bulletin 22430 (12-10-15, pages 20–23), the Postal Service announced that, effective January 17, 2016, the IMM would have a separate Individual Country Listing (ICL) for Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, and that the ICL for Curacao would no longer reference these municipalities. While noting numerous revisions to the IMM to effect this separation, we inadvertently neglected to make the appropriate revisions to Exhibit 322.2.
