Effective July 15, 2021, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Hong Kong in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to note the delivery process for insured items.
This revision is based on a formal request that Hong- kong Post (the designated operator of Hong Kong) made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 93, dated June 14, 2021.
