The following may be used to obtain mail transportation services:
- Domestic Air Transportation Services — Transportation of mail between points within the state of Alaska performed by scheduled air carriers and paid for at rates of compensation established by the Department of Transportation in its service mail rate orders (30 U.S.C. 5402(f)).
- International Ocean Transportation — International ocean transportation services may be obtained on a per-pound basis by tender. Mail of all classes and empty mail equipment may be tendered to U.S. and foreign-flag steamship companies for transportation in accordance with the scheduled rates at Figure 8.1 (International Ocean Transportation Schedule of Rates), unless the responsible manager has negotiated other rates. Mail may be tendered at postal facilities for transport by the steamship company to the pier, or at the carrier’s facility. The schedule or negotiated rates include any costs incurred for such transport.
- International Air Transportation — International air transportation services other than those for which the Postal Service has contracting authority under 39 U.S.C. 5402(a) and (b) and 49 U.S.C. 41904 must be obtained from carriers with permits and reimbursed pursuant to Department of Transportation service mail rate orders.
