IMM Revision: Modifying References to Automated Export System “Proof of Filing Citation” and “Exemption and Exclusion Legend”

Effective November 5, 2012, the Postal Service™ will revise Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Ser­vice, International Mail Manual (IMM®) throughout sub­chapters 520 and 530 for the following references:

n “Proof of Filing Citation (PFC)” to “Internal Transac­tion Number (ITN).”

n “Exemption and Exclusion Legend” to “Automated Export System (AES) Exemption.”

These references were introduced in the article “IMM Revision: Updated U.S. Census Requirements When Send­ing an International Shipment” in Postal Bulletin 22269 (10-8-09, pages 62–67). Subsequent research has indicated a need to revise these terms to better fit their usage in the export shipping community.

These revisions are consistent with revisions in two other articles published in this edition of the Postal Bulletin: “IMM Revision: Revised PS Form 2976, Customs Declara­tion CN 22 — Sender’s Declaration” on page 8, and “IMM Revision: Revised PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note — CP 72” on page 12. Those articles note that the revised editions of the customs forms also incorporate these new references.

We will incorporate these revisions into the next update of the online IMM, which is available via Postal Explorer® at http://pe.usps.com.
