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.

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.

That's all fine and dandy but, I must ask...how will USPS verify the accuracy of these descriptions?

Aditionally, there is this;

For example, you can't just say 'electronics'; you have to be specific about the type of electronics, like 'computer,' 'mobile phone,' or 'television,'" the USPS further explains.

I can certainly see where this would make it so much easier for Postal Employees to identify which packages they would wish to open and steal contents from.

It’s not new USPS rules, it’s new customs rules for shipping to Europe. And no, not a death blow to anything.

Folks, it’s not the USPS making the change—it’s the EU. Any service sending to the EU needs to provide this, or the package is refused or destroyed.

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.

They will "quietly" implement it to the sheeple. And they will gleefully obey.

During covid my niece was exposed. She asked me to send her a z-pack and some ivermectin, I had the z-pack so I said I would send it that day and I would get the ivermectin and send it as soon as I could.

I put the z pack in a bubble envelope and it made a little rattling sound because it was in a box and bubble pack and the mail lady actually asked me if it was medication well I freaked out and I do not like to lie but I looked her right in the face and said it’s jewelry.

So when I was ready to send the ivermectin I decided I was not going back to USPS I would go to FedEx and I’ll be ding dang darned if that guy didn’t ask me if it was medicine also.

I don’t know how many times during the supposed pandemic I was mailing medications to family and friends and no one ever asked if it was medication until then. I felt like a wanted fugitive, lol.

“So everyone will know when my inflatable Cherry 1000 girlfriend ships to me?”

Well, it’s ‘Cherry 2000’, and it means you have to specifically list Cherry when you ship her to your perv friends in Europe. It looks like you’re in the clear as far as receiving your inflatable girlfriend.

The Cherry 1000 was the precursor and inflatable. The Cherry 2000 is completely formed anatomically correct robot. Much more expensive.

The left, trying to make felons out of law abiding g citizens again. The person will describe something wrong, the fbi and swat teams will show up in middle of night, arres the person for “making a false statement about the contents” and become an I start felon.

Gee, ain’t that fun?

At least Cherry 1000 won’t short out when exposed to water.

The USPS won’t verify the contents.

Any verification will be up to Customs in the receiving country. This not an American rule; it is dictated by about 30 foreign countries. Shippers have always been required to disclose the contents of packages heading abroad.

This rule requires more specific descriptions, e.g., “shirts” instead of clothing.

Ok I see it is about the Eu, not us. But Biden and his ilk wants us to be subject to eu control, international law etc.

Non first class mail has always been subject to post office inspection to ensure proper postage is collected.

First class mail is closed to inspection without a warrant.

That pesky Fourth Amendment thingy.

You provide an answer to a question that the article didn’t even bother to address.
