On April 19, the United States Postal Service (USPS) offered new guidance for vape businesses ahead of a rule that would make it difficult for their products to be shipped by mail to consumers.
The notice, published in the Federal Register, gave some clarity on the forthcoming policy and outlined potential exceptions, which could include legal hemp and its derivatives. As the restriction is set to take effect immediately after its finalized and USPS will not review any exemptions ahead of time, the agency released what it hopes is a streamlined application process.
The postal service suggests that prospective applicants create a spreadsheet that includes a number of elements for each sender and recipient of the proposed vaping devices: business or government entity names; respective addresses; which USPS retail or business office where senders would tender shipments; which USPS office would retrieve shipments; descriptions of the business and government entities; licensing information; testing data if applicable; brand names and descriptions of the products; and the quantity and concentration of the products.
