AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change how the U.S. Postal Service handles care packages of donated goods sent to members of the Armed Forces stationed overseas. Packages addressed to military mail addresses (APO, FPO, or DPO) or other destinations authorized by the Secretary of Defense would be treated as domestic mail for all purposes. Where a customs form is required, the Postal Service would have to accept a simplified form that lists general categories of contents instead of detailed product codes or country-of-origin information. The Postmaster General would have to issue rules to carry this out within 30 days after the law takes effect.
