Effective March 21, 2024, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Australia in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to reflect an additional prohibition.
This revision is based on a formal request that Australia Post (the designated postal operator of Australia) made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 192, dated December 4, 2023, and subsequent email correspondence dated February 20, 2024.
