Effective October 31, 2024, the Postal Service™ is revising the Individual Country Listing for Iran in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to add an observation about including the addressee’s mobile phone number when mailing certain items to Iran.
This revision is based on a formal request that the Iran National Post Company (the designated postal operator of Iran) made through the Universal Postal Union via International Bureau Circular 141, dated September 16, 2024.
