They are not meant to restrict mailing after the deadlines.
- It is recommended that you send parcels, small packets and other requiring customs inspection at the country of destination prior to the deadlines as additional time may be required.
- For countries and territories not included in the table above, the Christmas mail delivery schedule is unclear and no mailing deadlines are set.
