Effective May 9, 2019, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Ghana in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to note that Ghana is updating its listing of prohibited items to include currency.
These revisions are based on a formal request that Ghana Post made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 62, dated April 22, 2019.
