Effective June 15, 2023, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Kazakhstan in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to request the inclusion of a 7-character postcode for each item addressed to Kazakhstan.
This revision is based on a formal request that Kazpost Joint Stock Company (the designated postal operator of Kazakhstan) made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 80, dated May 22, 2023.
