Service Bulletin
Welcome to our international incident bulletin; a round up of any issues which may be affecting mail services to and from countries around the world.
We keep this information as up-to-date as possible, with information supplied to Reliance by the various foreign national postal authorities.
SERVICE UPDATE
Items are leaving the UK on time but we are experiencing significant delays to a number of EU countries as a result of both new customs processes and ongoing Covid-19 measures. Our service to other destinations is operating normally. We are working with our airline and postal/courier partners to maintain services across the globe, however delays should be expected as a result of Covid-19 measures. The number of countries we can access is changing daily.
Customers now need to complete and attach a customs declaration (CN22 or CN23) when sending goods to all destinations abroad. This will be carried out by Reliance on behalf of the customer. Otherwise items may be delayed or returned.
For International mail packets that do not contain printed matter, electronic customs data is mandatory and items without data will be delayed and not processed.
