Declaration CN22—Sender’s
Declaration, or PS Form 2976–A,
Customs Declaration and Dispatch

In March 2003, we revised our request
to include mailpieces addressed to all

This revision to Postal Service
standards, requiring an appropriate
customs declaration for all mail sent to

prefix 969, will improve service. It will
also provide accountability, which will
ensure efficient processing.
