Effective June 27, 2024, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Iraq in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to note additional prohibitions regarding certain items destined for Iraq.
These revisions are based on a formal notification that the Iraq Post and Savings Company (the designated postal operator of Iraq) made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 85, dated May 27, 2024.
