Hurry up! USPS has delayed the ban on the delivery of devices with lithium batteries until May 16

Today it became known that the USPS decided to postpone the ban on the delivery of devices with lithium batteries until May 16. It was originally supposed to take effect on May 7th .

From May 16, 2012 it is planned to prohibit the delivery of lithium batteries (both separately and as part of devices) by airmail until January 2013 (then they should be allowed to transport lithium batteries as part of devices). The rules apply only to international transport, domestic transport in the United States, remain without prohibition.

So hurry, you still have the opportunity to order the desired device before the ban.

The full text of the USPS letter from the Shipito forum

Effective May 16 2012 2012 until January 2013 This includes mail destined to, or from, APO (Army Post Office), FPO (Fleet Post Office) and DPO (Diplomatic Post Office) locations.

The International Postal Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU), both of which are currently used in international air transport.

It is not necessary to apply it when it comes to commercial air or ground transportation.

Car shipments of lithium batteries in ship shipments are compared with domestic requirements.

We’ve anticipated that by January 2013, they were intended to operate.

If you want to be able to accept it, it’s possible to ensure that it has been established.

We appreciate your high standard of service.
