Would someone please tell me what the new mailing information is? Did Bonaire get a zip code? Do we just swap out Netherlands Antilles and insert Dutch Caribbean?

If there's a drop-down menu choice, (like the Fedex website has), you'd still choose Netherlands Antilles, because there is no other choice (yet). There are still going to be many websites that will continue to list Netherlands Antilles in their menus. Not quite sure how a new "nation" sends a memo to every shipping company in the world that our name has changed. Seems like it took the USPS 20 years just to get Netherlands Antilles right (I'm not optimistic that "Nederlands Caribisch" will catch on anytime soon)! For practical reasons, "Netherlands Antilles" will probably remain in most databases for awhile, and as you mentioned, add "Dutch Caribbean" wherever possible.

Hey Jeanine, funny thing also is that the IRS now requires you include a zip code when reporting rental income on a schedule E, no can do for Bonaire....

Zip codes are only good for addresses in the US.
