# §322.17. Mailed packages.

- (a) If you import a restricted organism through the mail or through commercial express delivery, you must attach a special mailing label (APHIS Form 599), which APHIS will provide with your permit, to the package or container. The mailing label indicates that APHIS has authorized the shipment.
- (b) You must address the package containing the restricted organism to the containment facility or apiary identified on the permit (post office boxes are not allowed).
- (c) If the restricted organism arrives in the mail without the mailing label described in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section or addressed to a containment facility or apiary other than the one listed on the permit, an inspector will refuse to allow the organism to enter the United States.
