The designated operator of Lebanon, LibanPost, wishes to inform Union member countries and their designated operators that, in the light of the new import requirements introduced by the US executive order of 30 July 2025, it is suspending the acceptance of open and closed transit items containing goods destined for the United States of America. This measure will be effective from 26 August 2025 and until further notice, in accordance with article 17-013 of the Convention Regulations. Accordingly, it should be noted that: • only postal items classified as documents will continue to be accepted; • any misrouted items containing goods destined for the United States that arrive at LibanPost’s international mail processing centres after 25 August 2025 will be returned to origin.

Original Post – 03.14.24

LibanPost wishes to update everyone on the current situation in Lebanon and the impact on postal operations.

Since the start of the Israeli military actions on 19 September 2024, ongoing missile, drone and airstrikes have been resulting in civilian casualties and mass destruction of various locations all over Lebanon. Most post office branches in the south of Lebanon are currently closed, along with several located in the southern region of Beirut.
The sorting centre remains operational, though with very limited capacity for the following reasons:

  • The high-risk locality of the LibanPost sorting centre (next to Beirut Rafic Hariri International Airport), which poses a threat to the safety of employees;
  • The massive damage sustained in and around the LibanPost Beirut sorting centre as a result of the various Israeli airstrikes targeting nearby locations
  • The limited availability of air transport, which is hindering the receipt and dispatch of international mail;
  • The LibanPost fleet’s inability to travel and transport mail freely across Lebanese territory, for fear of the ongoing airstrikes.

LibanPost wishes to stress that it is continuing to do its utmost to maintain its service levels and preserve the right of every Lebanese citizen to reliable postal exchanges between Lebanon and other countries.
