What is Foreign Mail?

The term “foreign mail” refers to any item of mail which is intended for delivery to another country. So if you live and work in the United States, for example, foreign mail could mean a letter addressed to Canada, a parcel addressed to Australia, a magazine addressed to France… and so on.

Any piece of mail destined for delivery outside of the country in which it originated is typically described as foreign mail.
