Effective July 19, 2018, the Postal Service™ is revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to reflect changes to the Individual Country Listing for Ukraine.
As a result of a formal request made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 73, dated May 28, 2018, Ukraine is providing a new Observation about correct addressing for parcels and for items sent with Registered Mail® service, stating that mailers must provide the addressee’s mobile telephone number.
