Mail service to Libya temporarily suspended

Effective immediately, all Post Office® and other mail acceptance locations cannot accept any mail addressed to recipients in Libya.

This temporary suspension affects Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG®), Express Mail International®, Priority Mail International®, First-Class Mail International®, International Priority Airmail® (IPA®), International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®), and M-Bag items.

Mail addressed to Libya that has already been accepted by the Postal Service (other than items already at an International Service Center) will be returned to the sender. Upon request, the Postal Service will refund postage and fees on items returned due to the temporary suspension of service. Items already at an International Service Center may be returned or held for dispatch once service is restored in accordance with USPS policy.
