Effective December 6, 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 El Salvador.
As a result of a formal request made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 80, dated June 18, 2018, Correos de El Salvador is providing new wording about trackable items. We are adding a new observation about including the addressee’s landline or mobile telephone number on the customs declaration form for each trackable item (i.e., an item sent with Registered Mail® service, Priority Mail Express International® service, or Priority Mail International® service). This contact information enables Correos de El Salvador to call or send a text message to the addressee when the item has arrived.
