Cuba Halts Mail to United States; Despite Ban, No USPS Changes

Correos de Cuba, the mail service of Cuba, has stopped accepting mail destined for the United States. U.S. Postal Service officials believe the suspension is related to difficulties third-party air carriers have experienced with the transport of mail to the United States.

Last November, the Transportation Security Administration imposed new security regulations on all U.S.-bound international mail and cargo. Some countries have faced difficulties with limited flight availability for their U.S.-bound mail. Also, some air carriers have faced obstacles routing mail to the United States.

The U.S. Postal Service has not imposed new restrictions on mail from Cuba and continues to accept mail destined for Cuba.
