The article titled “IMM Revision: International Shipping Services Product and Price Changes” in Postal Bulletin 22248 (12-18-08, pages 11–17) included a revision to the first sentence of footnote 1 in Exhibit 123.61, Customs Declaration Form Usage by Mail Category. However, the revised Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) that was posted online on January 18, 2009, inadvertently showed only that revised first sentence as footnote 1 and failed to include the entire footnote. The entire footnote is published below.

[Revise the first footnote to read as follows:]
1. Placement of forms: Use PS Form 2976 (green label) for a Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope and small flat-rate box and a First-Class Mail International item under $400 in value; affix the form to the address side of the package. If the value of the contents is $400 or more, affix the upper portion of PS Form 2976 (green label) (cut on dotted line and discard the lower portion) to the outside of the package, complete a separate PS Form 2976-A, and enclose the form set inside the package.

We will incorporate this correction into the next printed version of the IMM and into the monthly update of the online IMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
