USPS News: Mail Service News Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 3, 2001
Live Animal Transport Update
In response to new Federal Aviation Administration restrictions, the Postal Service is adjusting the service it provides for the transportation of live animals. The Postal Service will continue to accept live animals that do not require delivery within a 72-hour period, such as earthworms, lizards, snails, crickets, grasshoppers, and bees, which can move on ground transportation. Also, the Postal Service will continue to accept live animals for which the postage is $3.50 or less for shipment using air transportation. The Postal Service will provide limited service for live animals for which the postage is more than $3.50 and that require air transportation, such as day-old poultry, adult poultry and queen honeybees. This service will be available to and from the airports listed below. The customer must present the mail to the AMC/AMF no later than the time listed below. All times are local. Service will be available from Monday through Friday from the following airports:
Mail containing live animals for which the postage is more than $3.50 will only be accepted at an AMC/AMF, a retail unit or P&DC as authorized by the AMC/AMF manager. Employees accepting live animals that must be moved on air transportation must contact the appropriate AMC/AMF to make sure adequate space will be available and that the animals will reach their destination within the required time frame (see DMM C022.3.0). Mailers sending live animals are also encouraged to contact the appropriate AMC/AMF to facilitate the delivery of service. Here is a list of AMC/AMF contacts in each city:
