Post Office Tweaks International Return Receipt Rules and Prices

## Summary

Starting January 1, 2025, the Postal Service is ending the international Return Receipt service for Priority Mail International and First-Class Package International Service. But don’t worry—this service will still be available for registered letters and flats sent as First-Class Mail International. This change affects anyone sending international mail and might simplify your mailing options without extra fees for Return Receipts on some packages.

## Abstract

The Postal Service is revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM[supreg]), and Notice 123, Price List, to reflect changes to international Return Receipt as established by the Governors of the United States Postal Service.
