IMM Revision: Size and Weight Limits for the Czech Republic

Effective August 3, 2009, we are revising Mailings Stan­dards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM^®) in the following sections to reflect that the Czech Post has advised the Postal Service™ to increase the size and weight limits for Express Mail International^® and Priority Mail International™ items sent to the Czech Republic.

Also, we are revising the language in 223.2 just to pro­vide clarity.
