International Mail: Mailing Services Price Change

On January 21, the International Mail: Mailing Services Price Change final rule was posted on the Federal Register website and will be posted soon on the Postal Explorer^®website under Federal Register Notices.

On October 24, 2013, the Postal Service published two proposed rules to revise various sections of Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM^®) to accompany a notice of price adjustment filed with the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC). The PRC agreed that the price adjustments could go into effect on January 26, 2014. This final rule revises the IMM to reflect these changes.
