Enhanced Transparency and Security for Postal Shipments
New regulations increase control over international mail, including letters, by requiring detailed electronic data. This aims to improve security and detect illegal goods, potentially affecting delivery times for some shipments but enhancing overall safety. Citizens will gain greater assurance regarding the legality of imported goods.
Key points
All international mail shipments, including letters, will require advance electronic data submission to streamline customs checks.
Shipments without required electronic data will be refused entry after December 31, 2022, potentially impacting individuals who frequently receive international packages.
The Postal Service will regularly publish data on shipments lacking required information, increasing transparency of agency operations.
Monthly reports on shipment volume, inspections, and seized goods will provide better oversight of customs activities.
