Actions taken pursuant to 242 and 243 must be completed within a reasonable time in consideration of the applicable Postal Service delivery standards (see also subsection 711). Any detained package must be released in time to be included in the last dispatch that allows meeting the delivery standard for such mail.
The only exception to this release requirement is that, when examination pursuant to subsection 243 has revealed irreversible infestation or infection, or violation of a plant–quarantine law or regulation, such infested, infected, or violative package may be detained for whatever time is required for diligent notification of the sender and disposition of the package pursuant to section 26.
