The Postal Services International Service Centers (ISCs) distribute and dispatch international mail to specific foreign countries or gateway exchange offices. ISCs are located in New York, Miami, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, and each has been recognized with an International Post Corporation (IPC) Certificate of Excellence award for global leadership in mail processing. This award, based on a global standard for excellence, entails a months-long process that includes an operational survey and an extensive certification process. The IPC is an association of 24 postal operators in Europe, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region. IPC provides its members with systems and programs that ensure efficient and competitive delivery of international mail.
