On June 24, 2022, in Fairfax, VA, the U.S. Department of the Interior will issue the $25 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamp for the 2022–2023 waterfowl hunting season. The pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) stamp will go on sale nationwide June 24, 2022, and is valid through June 30, 2023.
Stamp Fulfillment Services (SFS) will not make an automatic distribution to Post Offices. To allow postmasters to order the 2022–2023 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 the 2022-2023 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps to order. Postmasters must order sufficient quantities of Item 336700 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/sfsweb.
The 2022–2023 $25.00 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation PSA Pane of 20 will only be distributed by SFS in Kansas City, MO, and by consignment via Amplex Corporation.
Before June 30, 2022, all sales and service associates must return unsold 2021–2022 Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps (also known as Duck stamps) to the unit reserve. Unit reserve stock custodians must ship unsold migratory bird stamps to the SFS destruction vault during their next scheduled return cycle. All postal retail units are required to return unsold Migratory Bird Hunting and Conservation stamps annually.
Locally produced items are not authorized. Only merchandise that has been approved and assigned an item number by Headquarters Retail Marketing may be produced and sold.
