UPDATED USPS Act
HR 4023, the UPDATED USPS Act, requires the U.S. Postal Service and private importers to transmit shipping data for international mail and cargo to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It eliminates previous restrictions on using this data for enforcement, mandates refusal of shipments without required data after December 31, 2023, and requires the Postal Service to publish monthly reports on data transmission failures. The bill also mandates quarterly public reports on shipment volumes, screening requests, seizures, and fees paid to customs. These changes aim to improve transparency and detection capabilities for international mail shipments.
