The firm says it is a fast-moving situation and is trying to keep as many services running as possible given the restrictions.
Royal Mail has halted deliveries to Europe, except for the Republic of Ireland, due to a UK travel ban triggered by the discovery of a new faster spreading coronavirus strain.
The company has also added Canada and Turkey to its "on suspension" list due to delays caused by "severely limited" air capacity.
In addition, Royal Mail said it could not guarantee special delivery items posted on 23 December would arrive before Christmas due to tighter COVID-19 restrictions being introduced in England.
Confirmation of a more infectious coronavirus variant has seen countries around the world shut their borders to the UK, including France, closing off one of the most important trade routes with mainland Europe and causing major transport disruption in Kent.
Royal Mail said on its website: "This is a fast-moving situation and we are monitoring things on an hourly basis.
"We are working to keep as many international mail services running as possible given the current restrictions around air, road, ferry and train movements from the UK.

Coronavirus: Royal Mail halts deliveries to Europe amid transport turmoil
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
