C-1.7 Assessment Calculation Example for Entry Facility Container Errors

The example below explains the process and calculation of assessments for Entry Facility Container errors. Errors at the container level require an additional step to identify the count of nested pieces prior to the calculation of additional postage due. The mailer in the scenario only exceeds the monthly error threshold for Entry Facility Container errors.

The process to calculate Entry Facility Container error verification results and assessments is below:

  1. Error Percentage Calculation:

    2.  

  2. Pieces Above Error Threshold Calculation:

For container errors, this is a two-step process. First, the number of containers above the error threshold is calculated. Then, the number of pieces nested to the containers above the error threshold is identified.

 

Number of eDoc Full-Service pieces nested to containers above error threshold: 552,000 pieces

  1. Postage Assessment Calculation:
