MaltaPost has announced the immediate resumption of postal services for letters and documents addressed to the United States.

Following the publication of the US Presidential Executive Order 14324, many airlines and cargo carriers temporarily suspended the acceptance of international mail bound for the U.S. because of changes to the customs rules. In response, MaltaPost said it also paused the acceptance of letter mail to the U.S. as a precaution and in alignment with these air carrier restrictions.

However, on Monday MaltaPost confirmed that its partner airlines and cargo carriers have lifted the embargo on letter and document mail to the U.S. This change follows updated guidance related to the Executive Order, which primarily affects the duty-free treatment of low- value goods entering the United States.

What it means for MaltaPost customers:

You may once again send letters and documents to recipients in the United States.

This includes personal correspondence, business documents, and official paperwork.

However, Parcels remain restricted and cannot be accepted by MaltaPost for mailing to the U.S. at this time.

MaltaPost thanked its customers for their patience and understanding during this temporary disruption. “Maintaining regulatory compliance while delivering a reliable service remains our highest priority.”

Mail arriving from the United States to Malta has not been affected and continues to be processed by MaltaPost as normal, it said.

“We remain committed to fully restoring all postal services to the USA as soon as this becomes possible and we shall continue to keep customers informed. This is an evolving situation and information provided in this press release is accurate as at the time of publication,” said MaltaPost.
