Effective September 7, 2023, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Kuwait in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to add an observation noting that the mailer must include all relevant documentation when mailing items containing goods to Kuwait.
This revision is based on a formal request that the Ministry of Communications (the designated postal operator of Kuwait) made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 120, dated July 24, 2023.
