DMM Revision: Commercial Express Mail and Priority Mail Standards and Mail Markings

Effective November 29, 2009, the Postal Service™ is revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Ser­vice, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 401 to add and clarify standards and mail markings currently found in DMM 101 for consistency with the standards that apply to all com­mercial Express Mail® and Priority Mail® mailpieces. We additionally are revising sections 101, 102, 110, 120, 410, 420, 503, and 705 to ensure consistent language is main­tained throughout the DMM for retail and commercial Express Mail and Priority Mail mailpieces.

The Postal Service has also identified the need to pro­vide mailers with an easy-to-understand explanation of the standards for both commercial Express Mail and Priority Mail products. Beginning January 4, 2009, two new Quick Service Guides (QSGs), 410 and 420, which are currently in development, will be available to customers.

We will incorporate these revisions into the next printed version of the DMM and into the monthly update of the online DMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
