NOTICE
International Reply Coupons
The International Reply Coupon (IRC), Item 330600,
currently sold by the Postal ServiceTM expires December
31, 2006. Consequently, the cut-off date for sale by the
Postal Service is August 31, 2006. Images of the front and
back of the expiring IRC are shown below.
The Postal Service has ordered new IRCs from the Universal Postal Union (UPU). These IRCs, Item 330700, bear
a denominated price of $1.85. They will go on sale nationwide on August 17, 2006. There will be no automatic distribution of this item. Post OfficesTM, stations, and branches
may request this item from their local Stamp Distribution
Office (SDO) or Stamp Services Center (SSC). Images of
the front and the back of the new IRC are shown on
page 22.
Under no circumstances should an expiring IRC be sold
on or after September 1, 2006. All Post Offices, stations,
and branches in possession of unsold expiring U.S.-issued
IRCs must return these to their servicing SDO or SSC no
later than September 15, 2006. SDOs and SSCs must mail
all received expiring IRCs to the address below before
October 13, 2006:
EAGAN ASC FINANCE BRANCH
FINANCIAL REPORTING
US POSTAL SERVICE

EAGAN MN 55121-9617
Before shipping the expired IRCs to the Eagan Accounting Service Center (ASC), SDOs and SSCs must bundle
the expiring IRCs in groups of 100 to facilitate tabulation.
The Eagan ASC Finance Branch, in conjunction with the
International Accounting Branch staff at the St. Louis ASC,
will prepare the expiring IRCs for shipment to the UPU
International Bureau so that the Postal Service may receive
credit for unsold U.S.-origin IRCs.
All new IRCs sold by Post Offices, stations, and
branches will no longer require the addition of the 10-cent
stamp at time of sale as these IRCs are properly denominated at the $1.85 sales price.
Foreign-origin IRCs, as well as returned U.S.-issued
IRCs remain redeemable by customers at Post Offices, stations, and branches under existing procedures until the
December 31, 2006, expiration date.
