On June 28, 2019, in Springfield, MO, the U.S. Department of the Interior will issue the $25 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp for the 2019–2020 waterfowl hunting season. The pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) stamp will go on sale nationwide June 28, 2019 and is valid through June 30, 2020.
Stamp Fulfillment Services (SFS) will not make an automatic distribution to Post Offices. To allow postmasters to order the 2019–2020 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp in quantities approximating customer demand, there is no minimum ordering quantity. Postmasters must review their previous year’s sales records to determine the appropriate number of 2019–2020 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps to order. Postmasters must order sufficient quantities of Item 336100 to meet the expected demand for this item by stamp collectors, conservationists, and hunters. Post Offices must not sell these stamps before the first-day-of-issue but will be able to preorder them through SFS Web at sfsweb.usps.gov.
The 2019–2020 $25.00 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation PSA Pane of 20 stamps will only be distributed to SFS in Kansas City, MO, and by consignment via Amplex Corporation.
Before June 30, 2019, all retail associates must return unsold 2018–2019 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps (also known as Duck stamps) to the unit reserve.
