Effective June 17, 2021, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Austria in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to note revisions to the list of prohibitions.
These revisions are based on a formal request that Österreichische Post AG (the designated operator of Austria) made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 79, dated May 17, 2021.
