Export Licenses

Primarily, there are three U.S. Government agencies that may require your shipment to have an export license:

• Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
• Department of Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC).
• Department of State (State Department).

When assessing whether you need to apply for an export license, please take note of various exceptions that may apply to your situation.

If your international shipment requires an export license, you must use services and forms as follows:

• Priority Mail Express International^™ service: Use PS Form 2976-B, Priority Mail Express International Shipping Label and Customs Form.
• Priority Mail International^® service. Use PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note — CP 72. Note: With Priority Mail International service, PS Form 2976-A is applicable only with Medium or Large Flat Rate Boxes or other parcels, so you cannot send an international shipment requiring an export license with a Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope or Small Flat Rate Priced Box.

To determine mail class availability and weight/size limits, refer to the Individual Country Listings in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM^®) at http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immctry.htm.
