DMM Revision: Products Mailable at Nonprofit Standard Mail Prices

Under statutory restrictions in the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) 703.1.6.11, products that are mailed at the Nonprofit Standard Mail prices must meet at least one of three exceptions. A low-cost item is one of the exceptions referenced in the Internal Revenue Code. The value of a low-cost item — the actual cost to the authorized nonprofit organization — is determined each year by the Internal Revenue Service, adjusted for the cost of living. Effective January 1, 2009, the value of a low-cost item is $9.50 or less.

We will incorporate this revision into the January 18, 2009, update of the online DMM available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com and into the next printed version of the DMM.
