Effective August 3, 2017, the Postal Service™ is revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®), sections 292.233 and 293.233, to correct a reference to price groups for international service center (ISC) drop shipments for International Priority Airmail® (IPA®) service and for International Surface Air Lift® (ISAL®) service. The IMM inadvertently referred to price groups “10–15” when the actual groups are “15–19.”
