The designated operator of Spain, S.E. Correos y Telégrafos S.A, S.M.E (Correos) wishes to inform the designated operators of other Union member countries that, in the light of the new import requirements introduced by the US executive order dated 30 July 2025, it is temporarily suspending acceptance of open or closed transit items containing goods destined for the United States of America. This measure will take effect on 20 August 2025, in accordance with article 17-013 of the Convention Regulations. Any transit or misrouted items containing goods destined for the United States and arriving at Correos’ international mail processing centres will be returned to origin.

The designated operator of Spain, Sociedad Estatal Correos y Telégrafos S.A, S.M.E. (Correos) asks us to inform Union member countries and their designated operators of a wildfire outbreak in certain regions of Spain. Several fires are currently active in the following regions and postcode areas of Spain: Cáceres (10XXX), Cádiz (11XXX), Huelva (21XXX), León (24XXX), Ourense (32XXX), Asturias (33XXX), Palencia (34XXX) and Zamora (49XXX). Owing to these fires and resulting roadblocks, disruptions and delays may be experienced in the delivery and collection of mail products in some municipalities of the above postcode areas, especially in small or remote municipalities. Mail products in affected areas will be stored until the situation is back to normal and delivery services can be resumed. This process may also be implemented in other areas potentially affected by fires in the coming days.
