Public Notice: Suspension of Outbound Mail Services to the USA
Please be advised that all outgoing mail addressed to the United States (including Hawaii and American Samoa) has been suspended until further notice. This follows a recent U.S. Executive Order that removed the duty-free exemption for shipments under USD $800, resulting in the halting of mail bound for the USA.
Incoming mail from these regions will still be received as normal.
We apologise for the inconvenience and will provide updates as soon as outbound services can resume.
For any queries, please contact us at postal@vodafone.co.ck or call 29940.
