Print Postage for Military and Diplomatic Mail (APO, FPO, and DPO) Destinations

Military Mail is a unique mailing category that uses domestic mail prices and in most cases requires a customs form.

• Important! Mail addressed to APO/FPO/DPO (overseas military and diplomatic) destinations may have many restrictions, and not all services are available. For more information about shipping to APO/FPO/DPO addresses, see the latest issue of the USPS Postal Bulletin and the USPS Preparing International Shipments.

For more information on shipping, see also Preparing International Shipments and Send Military & Diplomatic Love.
