I recently (Monday) mailed our club newsletter the "Shell-O-Gram" to our overseas subscribers as has been done for several years. This is simply a 6-10 page newsletter in an envelope. For the first time ever, the U.S. Postal Service asked me to fill out a customs declaration for each mailing. According to the desk clerk, the U.S. Postal Service has been returning all overseas mailings without said declaration. I don't know if this is a new policy or just an over-zealous local person. It seems to be overkill for a thin envelope of printed matter addressed to a staid institution such as the British Museum of Natural History.
