Effective September 7, 2010, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) sections 292.532, and 293.532 to reflect that the North Texas Processing and Distribution Center (P&DC) located in Coppell, Texas, is no longer available as a drop shipment entry site for International Priority Airmail™ (IPA®) and International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®) mailings due to USPS® operational changes.
Mailers may continue to qualify for IPA and ISAL drop shipment prices by entering their mailings at the New York, Florida, Illinois, or California facilities noted in IMM Exhibits 292.532 and 293.532.
