"As a rule, starting November 17, JP Post will suspend acceptance of all packages bound for the United States, including overseas territories such as Guam and Saipan, weighing 453 grams (16 ounces) or more":

Interestingly, the announcement says that it is "due to no longer having any means to transport items to the destination by air as a result of tightening of aviation security in the US". I did not realise they banned transport of all items above 453 g by air in the US?
