OPERATIONS REMINDER
Return IPC Trays to International Service Centers
The International Service Centers use a special tray for
importing and exporting mail to partner countries of the International Post Corporation (IPC). The tray is referred to
as an "IPC tray" (see image on this page). An IPC tray is a
blue container with corrugated sides and a black lid.
These trays are an accountable item for the Postal Service™; the loss and misuse of the IPC trays have become a
costly and unnecessary expense for the Postal Service.
Any plant, airmail facility, Post Office™, station, or branch
that has IPC trays must immediately return them through
the proper channels to the facility's assigned International
Service Center. The International Service Centers then inventory and account for the IPC trays.

PS Form 6182, Commercial Invoice
Publication 141, Global Express Guaranteed™ Service
Guide, Volume 10, requires PS Form 6182, Commercial
Invoice, for some GXG items in addition to Item 11FGG1
GXG UPSP, Version 22 L, 4/2004, GXG Air Waybill/Shipping Invoice.
Whether the customer must use PS Form 6182 is:
• Based on requirements of the destination country.
• Determined by contents of the shipment as stated in
Publication 141 and the recently distributed Commercial Invoice for Global Express Guaranteed By Country Matrix.
PS Form 6182 contains the commercial invoice on the
front and instructions on the back. Postal Service™ employees provide PS Form 6182 to customers. Each PS
Form 6182 requires the original and two copies. Retail offices that sell GXG should make two copies of the customer's completed PS Form 6182 until we distribute the
3-sheet carbonless copy of PS Form 6182 to Post Offices,
which will be by mid-September 2004. The top copy of the
3-sheet carbonless copy must have an original signature.
Once completed, the customer must place all 3 copies of
PS Form 6182 inside the plastic pouch affixed to the shipment along with Item 11FGG1 GXG UPSP, Version 22 L,
4/2004, GXG Air Waybill/Shipping Invoice.
PS Form 6182, Commercial Invoice, is available on the
Postal Service PolicyNet Web site:

STAMP ANNOUNCEMENT 04-30
Cloudscapes Stamps
The Postal Service™ will issue a
souvenir sheet of 37-cent, Cloudscapes commemorative stamps in 15 designs
(Item 456800). This pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) souvenir sheet of 15 will
be issued on October 4, 2004, in Milton, Massachusetts. The stamps, designed
by Howard E. Paine of Delaplane, Virginia, go on sale nationwide October 5,
2004. This $5.55 souvenir sheet may not be split, and the stamps may not be
sold individually.
Clouds develop when moist air cools to its dew point by
rising to a higher altitude or by moving over a cooler surface. Water vapor in the air then condenses in liquid or frozen form around minute particles such as pollen or dust.
The shapes and altitudes of clouds, as well as the sequences in which they develop, help forecast the weather.
In the early 19th century, Englishman Luke Howard -
chemist by trade and meteorologist by avocation - created
a system for classifying clouds using Latin names. He described the three most common shapes as cirrus (curl of
hair), stratus (layer), and cumulus (heap); he also defined
four compound cloud forms that derive from the three primary shapes. Later, scientists added terms such as humilis
(small) and incus (anvil) to designate other cloud properties. Arranged according to altitude, 9 of the 10 basic cloud
genera are pictured on this stamp pane. Information about
each cloud image is included on the back of each stamp.
The stamps will also be issued in a set of stamped cards
(Item 884600).
How to Order First Day of Issue Postmark
Customers have 30 days to obtain the first day of issue
postmark by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their

Pictorial Cancellations Announcement
As a community service, the Postal Service™ offers
pictorial cancellations to commemorate local events
celebrated in communities throughout the nation. A list of
events for which pictorial cancellations are authorized
appears below. If available, the sponsor of the pictorial
cancellation appears in italics under the date.
Also provided, as space permits, are illustrations of those
cancellations that were reproducible and available at
press time.
People attending these local events may obtain the
cancellation in person at the temporary Post Office™
station established there. Those who cannot attend the
event, but who wish to obtain the cancellation, may submit
a mail order request. Pictorial cancellations are available
only for the dates indicated, and requests must be
postmarked no later than 30 days following the requested
pictorial cancellation date.
All requests must include a stamped envelope or
postcard bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail®
postage. Items submitted for cancellation may not include
postage issued after the date of the requested
cancellation. Such items will be returned unserviced.
Customers wishing to obtain a cancellation should affix
stamps to any envelope or postcard of their choice,
address the envelope or postcard to themselves or others,insert a card of postcard thickness in envelopes for
sturdiness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or
postcard in a larger envelope and address it to:
PICTORIAL CANCELLATIONS, followed by the NAME OF
THE STATION,ADDRESS, CITY, STATE, ZIP+4® CODE, exactly as listed
below (using all capitals and no punctuation, except thehyphen in the ZIP+4 code).
Customers can also send stamped envelopes and
postcards without addresses for cancellation, as long as
they supply a larger envelope with adequate postage and
their return address. After applying the pictorial
cancellation, the Postal Service returns the items (with or
without addresses) under addressed protective cover.
The following cancellation has been extended for 30 days.

Retail
Insurance online Customers asked for it. They got it
- insurance online. The Postal Service™ continues to expand access to
its products and services, and customers this month will be able to buy insurance
at the click of a mouse. Insurance will be available through Click-N-Ship®
service. The label will reflect that the package is insured. Insurance online
can be purchased only in combination with online postage. For more information,
check out the Field Information Kit (pages 3-7) in this issue of the Postal
Bulletin.
"Quick, Easy, Convenient™"!
Everyone sells.
Everyone wins. Raising revenue with ReadyPost®? You could win! A sales contest
for ReadyPost shipping supplies is now under way. Figures for
September 2004 will be compared with June 2004 to determine
which offices have the largest dollar amount increase in ReadyPost
retail sales. The offices with the best sales will win gift certificates
ranging from $250 to a grand prize of $5,000. Compete details are
available in Postal Bulletin 22135 (8-19-04, pages 100-101).

Small
Starring... Be sure to watch for your Postal Service colleagues. They'll be
showing up in print, TV, and Direct Mail advertising for carrier
pickup and online shipping. Go to the Advertising Web site at
http://blue.usps.gov/advertising for a schedule of when and where
the ads will appear.
And, the next time customers need help shipping packages,
suggest carrier pickup. Learn how carrier pickup online notification
works at www.usps.com/pickup so you can pass along the
information to your customers.
Refreshed? Refresh your Post Office™ lobby Sept. 7 with a new standee or
counter card and brochures that promote carrier pickup. There's
also a poster announcing October as National Stamp Collecting
Month. Follow the directions in your planogram. These new
point-of-purchase (POP) elements do not replace any current
displays - they add to them.
See all the POP materials on Advertising's Web site at
http://blue.usps.gov/advertising. And while you're there, explore the
Web site to see what's new from Advertising, including retail drive
period research, field advertising, and more.
Got scales? Postal Service advertising in the next few months will focus on
online Package Services, including Click-N-Ship service, carrier
pickup, and insurance online. Be prepared for questions from
customers. And if someone asks, "How do I figure out at
how much my package weighs?" be sure to have some scales on
hand to offer for sale.
Pushing the envelope How much is too much inside a prepaid flat-rate Priority Mail®
envelope? Let your customers know that the contents of the
flat-rate envelope must be confined within the envelope - with the
adhesive provided on the flap as the primary means of closure.
The flap must be able to close and adhere to the envelope. Tape
may be applied to reinforce the envelope provided the sides aren't
opened and no reconstruction of the envelope takes place.
International calls Calling Latin America. Or Asia! Two new international
FIRSTCLASS PHONECARDS® are being introduced this month.
The Latin America card features competitive pricing to specific
countries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica,
Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Jamaica, Mexico, and
Venezuela. The Asia card offers competitive rates to Australia,
India, China (including Hong Kong), Japan, Pakistan, Philippines,
South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam.
