POSTAL SERVICE
Revision to ZIP Code Zone Charts for APO/FPO/DPO Inbound Mail
AGENCY: Postal ServiceTM.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Postal Service will rezone Inbound Mail from APO/FPO/DPO
ZIP Codes to coordinate the Origin/Destination ZIP Codes with the
designated International Service Centers (ISC) through which each
originating ZIP Code dispatches mail.
DATES: Applicable: June 1, 2018.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Direct questions or comments to
Kimberly G. Forehan by email at [email protected] or phone
(859) 447-2652.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Effective with the ZIP Code Zone Charts
update on June 1, 2018, Inbound Mail from APO/FPO/DPO ZIP Codes will be
rezoned to coordinate the Origin/Destination ZIP Codes with the
designated International Service Centers (ISC) through which each
originating ZIP Code dispatches mail. This means that mail being sent
from the various APO/FPO/DPO ZIP codes will be realigned so that both
outbound and inbound ZIPs will be paired with the areas they serve. The
US Postal Service refers to these relationships as ``reciprocal'' or
``retrograde'' pairs. This is a change from the current process where
Pacific ZIP Codes are zoned through the San Francisco ISC and the
European ZIP Codes are zoned through the JFK ISC. After June 1, 2018,
each of the five ISCs will be aligned with reciprocal pairs for inbound
mail from APO/FPO/DPO ZIP Codes. This will result in a more accurate
pricing model for Military customers mailing items back to the United
States.
