The US is to remain a member the world’s postal system after Universal Postal Union (UPU) members approved a compromise agreement which will allow the US Postal Service (USPS) to declare its own rates for imported small parcels from China and the rest of the world from next July.

The compromise deal, reached during a plenary session yesterday afternoon of an UPU Extraordinary Congress in Geneva, was passed by acclamation without a vote.
