Universal Postal Union Letter Post Manual Berne 2001 International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union Convention – Art. Note concerning the printing The text of the Convention is printed in bold characters. The texts of the Regulations and of the Final Protocols are printed in ordinary characters. The texts of the commentary by the International Bureau are printed in small char- acters preceded by a square (■). The number of the provision commented on is printed in bold characters. Any amendments to the texts made in subsequent updates of the Manual are marked by a vertical line ( ) in the margin opposite the amended text. II Remarks Remarks The Letter Post Manual replaces the Manual of the Universal Postal Convention published by the International Bureau after the Seoul Congress. That Manual had itself replaced volume 2 of the Annotated Acts issued after each Congress from 1940 to 1991. The Letter Post Manual includes the provisions of the Universal Postal Convention as revised by the 1999 Beijing Congress applicable to letter post, those of the Letter Post Regulations as revised by the POC in 1999 and 2000 and the commentary made by the International Bureau. The Manual is designed so as to give the reader immediate access to all the information about one and the same matter, viz: – the provisions of the Universal Postal Convention, indicated by Article ... – the provisions of the Regulations, indicated by Article RE ... – the provisions of the Final Protocol, given after the article concerned and indicated by Prot Article ... or Prot Article RE ... – the commentary by the International Bureau following the provisions to which it refers.

    DMM Advisory Keeping You Informed About Classification and Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service

    July 2, 2021 DMM Advisory Keeping you informed about classification and mailing standards of the United States Postal Service UPDATE 184: International Mail Service Updates Related to COVID-19 On July 2, 2021, the Postal Service received notifications from various postal operators regarding changes in international mail services due to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). The following countries have provided updates to certain mail services: Mauritius UPDATE: Mauritius Post has advised that the Government of Mauritius has announced the easing of COVID-related restrictions as of July 1, 2021, subject to strict adherence to sanitary protocols and measures. On July 15, 2021, Mauritius will gradually open its international borders. However, COVID-19 continues to have a direct impact on international inbound and outbound mails to and from Mauritius. Therefore, the previously announced provisions and force majeure continue to apply for all inbound and outbound international letter-post, parcel-post and EMS items. New Zealand UPDATE: New Zealand Post has advised that the level-2 alert in the Wellington region has ended as of June 29, 2021. Panama UPDATE: Correos de Panama has advised that post offices, mail processing centers (domestic and international) and the air transhipment office at Tocúmen International Airport are operating under normal working hours and the biosafety measures established by the Ministry of Health of Panama (MINSA). Correos de Panamá confirms that it is able to continue to receive inbound mail destined for Panama. However, Correos de Panama is unable to guarantee service standards for inbound and outbound mail. As a result, force majeure with respect to quality of service for all categories of mail items will apply until further notice.
  • Parcel Post Manual

    Parcel Post Manual

    UNIVERSAL POSTAL UPU UNION Parcel Post Manual Berne 2013 International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union July 1, 2015 Parcel Post Manual (Update 3) Preface to Bookmarked Edition The Parcel Post Manual (2013) is published by the International Bureau of the Universal Postal Union. It reproduces the Universal Postal Convention adopted by the 2012 Doha Congress of the Universal Postal Union and the Parcel Post Regulations adopted by the Postal Operations Council. The 2012 Convention and associated Parcel Post Regulations will be in effect from January 1, 2014, until December 31, 2017. The International Bureau updates the Parcel Post Manual periodically to include new or revised Parcel Post Regulations adopted by the Postal Operations Council. In general, but with some exceptions, the Regulations are adopted by the Postal Operations Council under the general authority of Articles 113(1)(13) and 141 of the General Regulations and not pursuant to an explicit delegation of authority in the Convention. The most recent update of the Parcel Post Manual, Update 3, was published in March 2015. The Parcel Post Manual also includes copies of selected Resolutions and Decisions ("Other Decisions by Congress") adopted by the Doha Congress and related to the Parcel Post. The UPU treats these Resolutions and Decisions as binding legal measures although there is no provision in the Constitution which explicitly authorizes the Congress to act legislatively by resolution or decision. The order of presentation in the Parcel Post Manual does not follow the order of the Universal Postal Convention. Articles of the Convention are organized according to topics. Parcel Post Regulations (numbered, RL xxx) follow the Articles of the Convention to which they logically relate.
