New Delhi, 31st Aug: The Department of Posts has announced a complete suspension of booking of all categories of mail destined for the United States of America, citing continued logistical challenges and lack of regulatory mechanisms for transport.
This decision follows the earlier public notice dated August 22, 2025. The suspension will apply to all types of consignments, including letters, documents, and gift items valued up to USD 100.
The department said it is closely monitoring the situation and assured that every possible effort is being made to resume normal services at the earliest. Customers who have already booked items that could not be dispatched will be eligible for a refund of postage.
Apologising for the inconvenience caused, the Department of Posts reiterated its commitment to ensuring reliable international postal services once operational challenges are resolved.
