USPS Resumes Full International Service
Now that international airports across Europe have reopened following the disruption caused by the Icelandic volcanic activity, the U.S. Postal Service has resumed full international mail service.
Effective immediately, the service guarantees for Express Mail International (EMI) and Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) to all destinations have resumed. The USPS also lifted the temporary restriction it imposed April 21 regarding the acceptance of perishable items bound for Europe.
“We appreciate the patience of our customers while the airport closings were in effect,” Pranab Shah, the Postal Service’s managing director and vice president, Global Business, said in a statement. “It was an unprecedented situation, and despite the challenges, we were able to establish alternate transportation channels to keep mail moving both inbound and outbound to many areas of the continent.”
