IMM Revision: Pricing and Mailing Standards Changes for Shipping Services

Effective January 4, 2010, the Postal Service™ is revis­ing Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM^®) to reflect changes to prices and mailing standards for the international shipping services noted below.

Global Express Guaranteed Service

On average, Global Express Guaranteed^® (GXG^®) prices will increase 4.1 percent. We continue to offer 10-percent-lower-than-retail prices when customers prepare and pay for their shipments using commercial base pricing options. Global Express Guaranteed service is our premier expedited service through an alliance with FedEx Express to more than 190 countries. Prices start at $33.95.

Express Mail International Service

On average, Express Mail International^® prices will increase 2.9 percent. We continue to offer 8-percent-lower-than-retail prices when customers prepare and pay for their shipments using commercial base pricing options. Express Mail International service provides reliable, high-speed delivery service to more than 190 countries with a date-certain, money-back guarantee to select destina­tions. Prices start at $26.95.

Priority Mail International Service

On average, Priority Mail International^® prices will increase 3.0 percent. We continue to offer 5-percent-lower-than-retail prices when customers prepare and pay for their shipments using commercial base pricing options. Although the Postal Service announced distinct pricing for the domestic Priority Mail Flat Rate Envelope and the domestic Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box, these flat-rate products, when used for international service, will still share the same price, based on destination country — $11.45 for Canada and Mexico, and $13.45 for all other countries.

Other Minor International Classification Changes

The following revisions to international shipping ser­vices are also effective January 4, 2010:

n The Postal Service adds an individual country listing for Kosovo to reflect its independence from the Republic of Serbia. All services currently available to Serbia will be available to Kosovo, with the exception of Express Mail International service and Priority Mail International insurance.

n To clarify terminology regarding parcels in the IMM, and to make the IMM language consistent with lan­guage currently used in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM^®), we are replacing the term “circular” (regard­ing parcels) to “nonrectangular.”
