The article entitled “IMM Revision: Indemnity Limit for International Registered Mail Service” in Postal Bulletin 22561 (12-17-20, page 8) stated that the indemnity limit for international Registered Mail™ items effective January 1, 2021, would be $41.43 — however, the actual indemnity limit is $41.42.
Consequently, the Postal Service™ will revise the following sections in Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM®) to reflect the actual indemnity limit:
n Section 333.2.
n Section 934.2.
n The Individual Country Listing for each country that offers Registered Mail service.
