152.32 Additional Postage for Nondenominated Postage Stamps, Forever Stamps, or Forever Print-on-Demand Indicias
[Revise 152.32 to read as follows:]
Because international postage prices are always higher than the comparable domestic postage prices, mailers who affix a single nondenominated postage stamp (see 152.31b), a single nondenominated semi-postal stamp (see 152.31c), a single domestic Forever stamp (see 152.31d), or a single Forever Print-on-Demand Indicia label (see 152.4) to their outbound mailpieces must add additional postage to comply with the international price schedule.

We will incorporate this revision in the next update of the online IMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
