The United States Postal Service or USPS will ban all international shipments of electronic devices with lithium batteries starting May 16. USPS has recently updated its policy, now planning to prohibit iPads, Kindles, smartphones, and other electronic devices using lithium batteries from being mailed overseas. The USPS says that the ban was made because of deliberations between the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) – two international bodies which issue semi-binding guidelines for global trade.
