IMM Correction: Airmail M-Bag Prices

The article titled “IMM Revision: Changes to Pricing and Mailing Standards for International Shipping Services” in Postal Bulletin 22326 (12-15-11, pages 54–63) included revisions in the Individual Country Listings (ICLs) for the price tables for airmail M-bag™ service, including revised text to read “Refer to Notice 123, Price List, for the applicable price.” However, since the effective date of that revision (January 22, 2012), the airmail M-bag tables published in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) have inadvertently included references to Commercial Base® and Commercial Plus™ prices (as do the tables for other services, except First-Class Mail International® service), but such references are not accurate because those prices are not applicable for airmail M-bag service. The correct text for the tables appears in this article.
