CUSTOMERS WILL NEED TO FOLLOW NEW RULES WHEN SHIPPING CERTAIN PACKAGES. . These regulations will make it mandatory for you to list each item in your package with a "specific, accurate description" on the customs declaration form.

"Acceptable goods descriptions must include complete, detailed information, explaining the precise nature of the goods in plain language," the USPS explains on its website, adding that it must also give "an indication of what the goods are, what they are made of, and what purpose they serve."

The USPS says the new postal regulations apply to nearly 30 countries.

I remember this being a requirement on overseas packages in the fifties, for customs tax

So everyone will know when my inflatable Cherry 1000 girlfriend ships to me? That sounds intrusive. What about my crack pipes (Biden never sent me any of the free ones)? And my at-home STD test kit? Wow. And (seriously) you can believe this is the FIRST step to stop shipping of firearm parts and ammo.

Trusting that this does not affect things too much when I have items mailed to my Ogdensburg, NY address.

:: what purpose they serve? ::

Confiscation of foreign pharmaceuticals that don’t the FDA narrative of “virus effective” or are “illegal for off-label use”.

Sh*t is coming...soon!

Um. ... What’s special about Ogdensburg?

Is is more ‘special’ than say Goshen, NY?

Great way to —

(a) reduce use of the USPS
(b) create a new process crime of lying to the USPS by not ACCURATELY describing the contents and their purpose.

You know that it may not be soon but it is still only a matter of time before this becomes applicable to packages shipped within the United States.

Ogdensburg is right near the US/Canada border with a bridge going across the St Lawrence River to Prescott, ON. As a result, I just simply cross over there and there is a service that receives packages care of the address and I save money on freight and international processing fees. In a number of cases, there are also people who ship only to US addresses to begin with.

From the article,
“The new month is bringing new changes for postal customers. New customs rules for shipping packages to Europe are going into effect starting March 1”

And the sample I send off every couple years to screen for colon cancer.

Very intrusive.
