Block 10: Except for shipments to APO/FPO/DPO addresses, enter an Automated Export System (AES) Internal Transaction

Number (ITN), AES Exemption, or if applicable, an AES Downtime Citation. This standard may also apply when mailing items to,

from, and between U.S. territories, possessions, and Freely Associated States — see DMM 608.2.5. One of these codes must

appear in the “AES/ITN/Exemption” block before the Postal Service will accept a package for mailing. In general, mailpieces

containing any type of goods (per Schedule B Export Codes at ) valued at more than

$2,500, or requiring an export license under U.S. law, must have an ITN issued by the U.S. Census Bureau or an AES Downtime

Citation, subject to certain exceptions. Mailpieces that are exempt from filing must have an AES Exemption. Regardless of

exemptions, all mailpieces must have an ITN or AES Downtime Citation if they are destined to certain countries on which the

U.S. has a comprehensive embargo. To obtain an ITN and file electronically through the Census Bureau’s AES, or for additional

information, please visit or call 800-549-0595. For additional information, refer to U.S. Postal

Service

Publication 699, Special Requirements for Shipping Internationally, and to IMM Part 520.
