March DMM Update

Postal Explorer® (pe.usps.com) is your source for up-to-date mailing standards. The Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®) is fully searchable on Postal Explorer and features fly-out menus, cross-reference links, and an extensive subject index. Yesterday we updated our mailing standards to include the following changes:

Military Mail Addressing and Restriction Codes

We revised 703.2.0 to include Restrictions A1 and A2 in the APO/FPO/DPO table. These restrictions pertain to the overseas addressing requirements for military mail. We published this information in the January 7, 2016, Postal Bulletin.

Business Reply Mail

We revised 505.1.0 to clarify that Retail First-Class Mail or Priority Mail prices are required in addition to the per piece fee for Basic and High Volume BRM pieces. We published this information in the February 18, 2016, Postal Bulletin.

Postage Stamp Denominations

We revised 604.1.0 to reinstate the current postage stamp denominations table. We published this information in the February 18, 2016, Postal Bulletin.

Priority Mail Regional Rate Box Pricing

We revised 223.1.2 and 224.1.1.1 to correct an omission regarding Priority Mail Regional Rate Box® pricing on Click-N-Ship®.. We published this information in the February 18, 2016, Postal Bulletin.

Our next scheduled DMM update is April 10, 2016.
