What are the size and weight restrictions for international mail?

Asked a year ago
The size and weight restrictions for international mail vary depending on the destination and type of service chosen. Generally, for packages sent via Priority Mail International, the maximum weight is 70 pounds. However, many countries have lower weight limits, so it is crucial to check the specific requirements for each destination. The maximum length for packages is usually 60 inches, and the combined length and girth should not exceed 108 inches. For First-Class Mail International, the weight limit is 4 pounds, and the maximum dimensions are generally 24 inches for length, 36 inches for length and girth combined. Priority Mail Express International also allows packages up to 70 pounds but might have additional size restrictions. Always consult the USPS International Mail Manual or contact your local post office for accurate and detailed information.
