Actually the 1 pound limit was imposed by Japan Post; Japan Post will not
accept packages larger than 1 pound bound for the US. As far as the USPS
there are no other countries imposing a similar ban on Airmail. Though
security will be tighter than it was before the fan mail from Yemen arrived.
(All ground and sea based shipments are unaffected.)
ALSO if you are a registered Japanese commercial business making shipments
to the US (on the international safe shippers list) this ban will not impact
your shipments to the US.

I can send registered (air/ground) mail up to 2000grams and
not matter if this is for Poland, for EU or international
shipment.
But try to go to other post office. Sometimes they have
crazy ideas on posts. They can tell me that my box is wrong
secured by my protective tape or that I write address in not
correct place or whatever they can invent on their coffy
break.
But the best idea will be calling Your post infoline and
ask them if this new regulations are official.
