S 1711 United States Senate · 118th Congress

UPDATED USPS Act

This bill modifies customs requirements for international mail shipments handled by the U.S. Postal Service and private importers. It requires the Postal Service to transmit advance electronic shipping data for all international mail by December 31, 2023, and mandates monthly public reports on data submission volumes, screening requests, and seizures. Shipments lacking this data will be refused entry after December 31, 2023, and the Postal Service must publish monthly statistics on non-compliant shipments. The law directly affects the U.S. Postal Service, private importers, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, focusing on transparency and enforcement of existing customs data rules.
