Can i send priority mail to fpo

Yes, you can send Priority Mail to a Foreign Post Office (FPO) address. However, there are some specific requirements and considerations to keep in mind:

  1. FPO addresses: Make sure you have the correct FPO address format, which typically includes the country name, FPO code, and zip code. For example: "APO/FPO AE 09345" (for Army Post Office/Fleet Post Office in the United States).
  2. Priority Mail requirements: Priority Mail has specific requirements for FPO addresses, including:
    • Use the correct FPO address format.
    • Ensure the package is properly packaged and sealed.
    • Use the correct postage (Priority Mail rates apply).
    • Attach the correct customs forms (PS Form 2976) to the package.
  3. Customs forms: When sending Priority Mail to an FPO address, you'll need to complete the customs form (PS Form 2976) and attach it to the outside of the package. This form provides information about the contents, value, and recipient of the package.
  4. Weight and size limits: Priority Mail has weight and size limits for FPO addresses. For example, the maximum weight is 70 pounds, and the maximum length is 108 inches.
  5. Delivery times: Delivery times for Priority Mail to FPO addresses can vary depending on the destination and the speed of service chosen. For example, Priority Mail Express typically takes 1-3 business days to reach FPO addresses, while Priority Mail can take 6-10 business days.
  6. Tracking and insurance: You can track your Priority Mail package and purchase insurance to protect against loss or damage.

To send Priority Mail to an FPO address, you can use the following steps:

  1. Go to the USPS website and select "Priority Mail" as your shipping option.
  2. Enter the FPO address as the destination.
  3. Choose the correct customs form (PS Form 2976) and attach it to the package.
  4. Ensure the package is properly packaged and sealed.
  5. Pay for the postage and print the shipping label.
  6. Drop off the package at a USPS location or schedule a pickup.

Remember to check with the USPS website or a local post office for any specific requirements or restrictions for sending Priority Mail to FPO addresses.
