216.3 Discounted Rates

216.31 General Discounted rates apply to Global Express Guaranteed customers who prepare and pay for Global Express Guaranteed shipments online using the Web application located at http://www.usps.com/gxg. The Global Express Guaranteed online application provides the necessary systems for tracking usage and volume, as well as verifying and protecting revenue. These discounts do not apply to Global Express Guaranteed shipments that are paid for at participating Post Office facilities because the necessary volume tracking capabilities are not available at retail locations.

216.32 Eligibility for Online Discounts To be eligible for discounts for purchasing Global Express Guaranteed online, customers must register via the Global Express Guaranteed Web site, http://www.usps.com/gxg. Registration is accomplished by selecting the designated icon on the Global Express Guaranteed home page and following the accompanying instructions. This one-time registration will establish a shipping record and a customer history for purposes of calculating the appropriate discounts. To be eligible for online discounts, customers must prepare their shipping labels and pay for their shipments online using a credit card.

216.33 Online Discounts 216.331 General Two types of online discounts are offered: standard discounts and volume-based discounts. The discount applies only to the postage portion of the Global Express Guaranteed rates. It does not apply to any other service charges or additional insurance coverage fees. The discounted postage rates applicable to Global Express Guaranteed are set forth in 216.36 and are separate and distinct from the postage rates set forth in 216.1 and 216.2.

216.332 Standard Web Discount A standard discount schedule will apply to all Global Express Guaranteed items prepared and paid for on the Web that do not qualify for the volume discount schedule. The discount is automatically applied to each shipment.

216.333 Volume Discounts If previous volume minimums are met, volume discounts will apply to registered customers who prepare and pay for shipments online. Volume is calculated on a weekly basis, with a week defined as Monday through Sunday. The Web application automatically tracks the customer’s daily shipping activity and applies the appropriate discount based on delivery destination.

216.334 Determination of Volume Discounts There are three different rate schedules for Global Express Guaranteed volume discounts. Each rate schedule reflects different rates based on previous usage averaging 5 shipments or more per week, 12 shipments or more per week, and 20 or more shipments per week.

IMM Issue 29, July 2003 45 Contents Country Index

216.34 International Mail Manual

The first week of shipping, all shipments get the standard online discount of 5 percent off the applicable non-discounted rate. The second week, the discount is based on the volume shipped the first week. The third week, the discount is based on the average volume of the first 2 weeks. The fourth week, the discount is based on the average volume of the first 3 weeks. This continues through a 12-week cycle. After a 12-week history is established, the discount is always based on the average volume of the preceding 12 weeks.

216.34 Online Postage Payment 216.341 Credit Card Payment Customers must pay postage online using a credit card. The following credit cards are accepted for payment online: American Express, Diner’s Club, Discover, MasterCard, and Visa.

216.342 Deposit Within 24 Hours Customers paying postage online must enter their shipment via any of the methods outlined in 216.35 within 24 hours of the time when the label is printed or the transaction will be voided.

216.343 Postage Adjustments Use of the online service is subject to subsequent verification of the shipment upon acceptance by the Postal Service to verify that the payment, weight, and time of entry are accurate. Registration for online service constitutes an authorization to the Postal Service to make adjustments to the initial credit charge for any postage deficiencies discovered upon acceptance. Adjustments for items paid online will be made to the customer’s credit card account.

216.344 Notification An email notification will be provided to each customer showing the exact postage amount applicable for the online shipment, as well as the acceptance time and date.

216.35 Shipment Preparation and Deposit 216.351 Preparation Customers must prepare shipments following the shipping preparation instructions on the Global Express Guaranteed Web site.

216.352 Deposit The following choices are available for depositing Global Express Guaranteed shipments prepared online: a. On-call and scheduled pickup services are available for an added charge of $12.50 for each pickup stop, regardless of the number of pieces picked up. Only one pickup fee will be charged if domestic Express Mail, International Express Mail, domestic Priority Mail, international parcel post, and/or domestic Parcel Post is picked up at the same time. No pickup fee will be charged when Global Express Guaranteed is picked up during a delivery stop or during a scheduled stop made to collect other mail not subject to a pickup fee. Pickup

216.353 Acceptance of Online Shipments For purposes of computing the delivery guarantee, Postal Service acceptance of a Global Express Guaranteed item prepared online occurs when the shipment is received and scanned at a participating Global Express Guaranteed Post Office facility. Collection box deposit and carrier pickup do not constitute Postal Service acceptance of a Global Express Guaranteed shipment. Acceptance occurs when the shipment is brought back to the Post Office facility and the acceptance office performs a retail system scan to verify the weight and dimensions of the shipment.

216.4 Payment of Postage

216.41 Methods of Payment Both Global Express Guaranteed Document service shipments and Non-Document service shipments may be paid by postage stamps, postage validation imprinter (PVI) labels, or postage meter stamps.

216.42 Official Mail Global Express Guaranteed shipments that are originated by federal agencies and departments are subject to the same postage payment requirements, weight and size limits, customs requirements, and general conditions for mailing as Global Express Guaranteed shipments that are originated by non-governmental entities. Both Global Express Guaranteed Document Service shipments and Non-Document service shipments mailed by Postal Service entities must bear the G-10 permit indicia that is prescribed for all Postal Service official mail. There is a 70-pound weight limit for Postal Service–originated Global Express Guaranteed shipments going to all authorized destinating countries. See section 143.2.

217 Weight and Size Limits

217.1 General The weight, dimensional weight, and size limits set forth in this section are the same for both Global Express Guaranteed Document service shipments and Non-Document service shipments.

IMM Issue 29, July 2003 59 Contents Country Index

217.2 International Mail Manual

217.2 Weight Limits The maximum weight is 70 pounds.

217.3 Dimensional Weight The equation for determining dimensional weight is as follows: Dimensional Weight = (Length x Width x Height)/166 When determining the dimensional weight, round each individual measurement down to the nearest whole inch. Determine the postage rate for nondocument shipments by comparing the dimensional weight, (Length x Width x Height)/166, with the actual weight. Round the dimensional weight up to a full pound. For example, (14 x 10 x 6)/166 = 5.06, which is rounded up to 6 pounds. Of these two weights (dimensional and actual scale weight), use the higher one for Global Express Guaranteed nondocument shipments, along with the appropriate rate chart for the service required. For document shipments, record the dimensions of 1″ x 1″ x 1″ and use the actual weight to determine the postage.

217.4 Size Limits

217.41 Minimum Size Items must be large enough — approximately 9 inches in height and 12 inches in length — so that a Global Express Guaranteed Air Waybill/Shipping Invoice can be affixed on the face of the item.

217.42 Maximum Size Length and girth combined may not exceed 108 inches. Individual dimensions may not exceed 46 inches in length, 35 inches in width, and 46 inches in height.

292.2 Postage

292.21 Rates 292.211 General There are two rate options for International Priority Airmail service: a presort rate option that has eight rate groups, and a worldwide nonpresort rate. For both options, there are full service rates for mail deposited at offices other than the drop shipment offices listed in 292.153, and drop shipment rates for mail deposited at one of the drop shipment offices. The per-piece rates and per-pound rates are shown in Exhibit 292.211. The per-piece rate applies to each piece regardless of its weight. The per-pound rate applies to the net weight (gross weight minus tare weight of sack) of the mail for the specific rate group. Fractions of a pound are rounded to the next whole pound for postage calculation. Exhibit 292.211 International Priority Airmail Rates

Drop Shipment Full Service Rate Group Per Piece Per Pound Per Pound 1 $0.28 $2.60 $3.60 (Canada) 2 $0.12 $4.60 $5.60 (Mexico) 3 $0.25 $4.00 $5.00 4 $0.25 $5.50 $6.50 5 $0.12 $4.85 $5.85 6 $0.12 $4.75 $5.75 7 $0.12 $6.25 $7.25 8 $0.12 $7.25 $8.25 Worldwide $0.20 $7.00 $8.00

292.213 International Mail Manual

b. Over $5 million to $10 million: 10 percent discount. c. Over $10 million: 15 percent discount. Mailers entitled to these discounts must place the full per-piece rate on each piece of mail if payment is by postage meter or mailer-precanceled stamps. The discount is calculated on the postage statement.

292.213 Qualifying for Volume Discounts To qualify for volume discounts, mailers must apply in writing to: MANAGER INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT US POSTAL SERVICE 1735 N LYNN ST RM 2020 ARLINGTON VA 22209-6021

The manager evaluates all requests and informs the mailer and the Post Office facility(ies) of mailing whether discounts are approved and the level of discount. Mailers must supply the following information: a. Postal Service fiscal year for the qualifying mail. b. Permit number(s) and Post Office facility(ies) where the permits are held. c. Total revenue for the Postal Service fiscal year. d. Post Office facility(ies) where the discount is to be claimed. The combined IPA and ISAL revenue is counted toward the discounts. The Postal Service will count as revenue to qualify for the volume discounts only postage paid by the permit holder. If a permit holder has more than one account, or accounts in several cities, then these revenues may be combined to qualify for discounts. Agents who prepare mail for the owner of the mail and mail paid by the owner’s permit may not be included in the revenue to qualify for the discounts. Customers may be required to substantiate their request by providing copies of all postage statements for the appropriate Postal Service fiscal year. All decisions of the Manager, Mail Order are final.

292.214 Availability IPA service is available to all foreign countries, as listed in Exhibit 292.452, which shows the rate group assigned to each country.

292.215 Presort Rates To qualify for the presort rates (see Exhibit 292.211), a mailing must consist of a minimum of 11 pounds to a specific rate group. This minimum applies to each rate group and not to the entire mailing. Within a rate group, all mail addressed to an individual country must be sorted into direct country packages of 10 or more pieces (or 1 pound or more of mail) and/or sacked in direct country sacks of 11 pounds or more. Mail that cannot be made up into direct country packages or direct country sacks must be sent at the worldwide nonpresort rates. Note: There are separate preparation requirements for mail to Canada. See 292.455.

292.216 Separation by Rate Group The mailer must specify the rate group on the back of PS Tag 115, International Priority Airmail, with 1 (Canada), 2 (Mexico), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or WW (Worldwide), and must physically separate the sacks by rate group at the time of mailing.

292.217 Computation of Postage Postage is computed on PS Form 3652, Postage Statement — International Priority Airmail. Postage at the worldwide nonpresort rate is calculated by multiplying the number of pieces in the mailing by the applicable per-piece rate, multiplying the net weight (in whole pounds) of the entire mailing by the applicable per-pound rate, and then adding the two totals together. Postage at the presorted rates is calculated by multiplying the number of pieces in the mailing destined for countries in a specific rate group by the appropriate per-piece rate, multiplying the net weight (in whole pounds) of those pieces by the corresponding per-pound rate, and then adding the two totals together. Volume discounts are calculated on the postage statement.

292.22 Postage Payment Methods 292.221 General a. Postage Meter or Permit Imprint. Postage must be paid by postage meter, permit imprint, or mailer-precanceled stamps (see DMM P023.3.0) or a combination. Postage charges are computed on PS Form 3652. b. Piece Rate Portion. The applicable per-piece postage must be affixed to each piece by meter unless postage is paid by permit imprint or mailer-precancelled stamps (see 292.223). c. Pound Rate Portion. Postage for the pound rate portion must be paid either by meter stamp(s) attached to the postage statement or from the mailer’s authorized permit imprint advance deposit account.

292.222 Postage Meter a. Postage Endorsement. When postage is paid by meter or mailer-precanceled stamps, each piece must be legibly endorsed with the words “INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY AIRMAIL.” b. Specifications for Endorsement. The endorsement required in 292.222a must appear on the address side of each piece and must be applied by a printing press, hand stamp, or other similar printing device. It must be printed above the name of the addressee and to the left or below the postage, or it may be printed adjacent to the meter stamp in either the postal inscription slug area or ad plate area. If the postal endorsement appears in the ad plate area, no other information may be printed in the ad plate. The endorsement may not be typewritten or hand-drawn. The endorsement is not considered adequate if it is included as part of a decorative design or advertisement. c. Unmarked Pieces. Unmarked pieces lacking the postage endorsement required by 292.222a are subject to the airmail letter-post single piece rates.

To obtain an authorization, the mailer must submit a written request to the postmaster at the office where the mail will be entered (see DMM D072).

292.223 Permit Imprint Mailers may use a permit imprint for mailings that contain identical weight pieces. Any of the permit imprints shown in Exhibit 152.3 are acceptable. The postage charges are computed on PS Form 3652 and deducted from the advance deposit account. Permit imprints must not denote Priority Mail, bulk mail, nonprofit, or other domestic or special rate mail. Mailers may use permit imprint with nonidentical weight pieces only if authorized to use postage mailing systems under DMM P910, P920, or P930.

292.455 Preparation Requirements for Canada To qualify for the presort rates for Canada, a mailer must have at least 11 pounds of mail for Canada. This includes letter-size, flat-size, and package-size items even though such items are prepared in separate equipment. If the mailing contains less than 11 pounds of mail for Canada, or if the mailer chooses to do so, mail for Canada is included in the worldwide nonpresort rate mail with mail for other countries. Worldwide nonpresort mail for Canada is prepared in accordance with 292.453. The preparation requirements of presorted mail to Canada follow. See Exhibit 292.455 for Canadian labeling information. a. Letter-Size Mail and Flat-Size Mail. Letter-size items are prepared in letter trays, either half-size or full-size, depending on volume. Flat-size items are prepared in flat trays. All items must be faced in the same direction, and all trays must be full enough to keep the mail from mixing during transportation. Do not prepare the content of the tray in packages. The mailer must label each tray to show the destination in Canada and the dispatching U.S. international exchange office in the following format: Line 1: Canadian Destination, U.S. Exchange Office Code Line 2: Contents Line 3: Mailer, Mailer Location Example:

TORONTO ON FWD 11430 IPA ABC COMPANY NEW YORK NY

In addition, the mailer must complete PS Tag 115, International Priority Airmail. Write “Canada” on the reverse and tape the tag to the tray sleeve. All trays must be banded. b. Packages. Items that cannot be prepared in trays because of their size or shape must be placed loose in blue airmail sacks. Use PS Tag 115, International Priority Airmail, and label to either Toronto or Vancouver, as appropriate. Attach a completed PS Tag 178. See 292.451b.

293 International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) Service

293.1 Definition R International Surface Air Liftt (ISAL ) is a bulk mailing system that provides fast, economical international delivery of letter-post items. The cost is lower than airmail and the service is much faster than surface mail. ISAL shipments are flown to the foreign destinations and entered into that country’s surface or nonpriority mail system for delivery.

293.2 Qualifying Mail and Minimum Quantity Requirements Letter-post mail as defined in 241 that meets all applicable mailing standards may be sent in this service. There is a minimum volume requirement of 50 pounds per mailing except for the Direct Shipment option, which requires a minimum 750 pounds to a single country destination. Mail is prepared as (1) direct country sacks when there are 11 pounds or more to a single country or required country separation; (2) mixed country package sacks when there are 10 or more pieces or at least 1 pound of mail to a single country, but less than 11 pounds; and (3) residual mail when there are fewer than 10 pieces or less than 1 pound of mail to a single country. Residual mail may not exceed 10 percent, by weight, of the mail presented in direct country sacks, M-bags, and mixed country package sacks. Qualifying residual mail is subject to the appropriate ISAL rate (Full Service, Direct Shipment, M-Bag, or Dropship ISC). Note: A package is defined as 10 or more pieces of mail to the same country separation or 1 pound or more regardless of the number of pieces. Packages of letter-size pieces of mail should be no thicker than approximately a handful of mail (4 to 6 inches). Packages of flat-size mail may be thicker than 6 inches but must not weigh more than 11 pounds.

293.72 Full Service Rates ISAL mailings presented at any Post Office facility that accepts bulk mail, other than a Drop Shipment ISC listed in 293.32, and not eligible for the direct shipment rate, are paid at the full-service rates. Postage for regular ISAL is paid on a per-piece and a per-pound basis. M-bags are subject to the M-bag pound rate only.

293.73 Direct Shipment Rates Mailers are eligible for the direct shipment rates from the acceptance Post Office facility (except Drop Shipment ISCs) when the Postal Service is able to arrange direct transportation from the origin office to the destination country. To qualify, mailers must present a minimum of 750 pounds to each destination country. Mailers must contact the Post Office of mailing at least 14 days before the first desired mailing date. A Postal Service employee must complete PS Form 3655, International Surface Airlift (ISAL) Direct Shipment Option Advisement and Confirmation of Transactions, and fax it to the distribution network office (DNO) to obtain a contract for transportation. If the DNO cannot arrange direct transportation, the direct shipment rate does not apply. The Postal Service may cancel direct shipment rates and service when direct transportation is no longer available.

293.74 Drop Shipment ISC Rates ISAL mailings transported by the mailer to the Dropship ISCs listed in 293.32 are eligible for the Drop Shipment ISC rate.

293.75 Volume Discount 293.751 General Mailers who spend $2 million or more combined on ISAL and IPA in the preceding Postal Service fiscal year may receive discounts off the rates shown in 293.71: a. Over $2 million to $5 million: 5 percent discount. b. Over $5 million to $10 million: 10 percent discount. c. Over $10 million: 15 percent discount. Mailers entitled to these discounts must place the full per-piece rate on each piece of mail if payment is by postage meter or mailer-precanceled stamps.

293.76 International Mail Manual

b. The permit number(s) and Post Office facility(ies) where the permits are held. c. The total revenue for the Postal Service fiscal year. d. The Post Office facility(ies) where the discount is to be claimed. The combined ISAL and IPA revenue is counted toward the discounts. The Postal Service will count as revenue to qualify for the volume discounts postage paid by only a permit holder. If a permit holder has more than one account, or accounts in several cities, then these revenues may be combined to qualify for discounts. Agents who prepare mail for the owner of the mail and mail paid by the owner’s permit may not be included in the revenue to qualify for the discounts. Customers may be required to substantiate their request by providing copies of all mailing statements for the appropriate Postal Service fiscal year. All decisions of the Manager, Mail Order are final.

293.76 Payment Methods 293.761 Postage Meter, Permit Imprint, or Precanceled Stamps Postage must be paid by postage meter, permit imprint, or mailer-precanceled stamps.

293.9 Preparation Requirements

293.91 Addressing International Surface Air Lift mail is subject to the addressing requirements contained in 122. a. Exception: International Surface Air Lift items destined for Canada must have the applicable alphanumeric post code included in the delivery address. See 122.1k for the address formatting requirements that generally apply to mailpieces sent to Canada. b. Exception: International Surface Air Lift mail in direct country sacks (see 293.942a) is not subject to the interline addressing requirement that is specified in 122.1d. At the sender’s risk, the English translation of the destination post office or city name may be omitted from printed addresses that are in Russian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Japanese, or Chinese characters. An English translation of the country name (e.g., Russia) is still required on the individual mailpieces.

293.92 Marking For publishers’ periodicals (Periodicals Mail), the imprint authorized under 294.41e may be used. Individual items paid by meter postage or mailer-precanceled stamps must be endorsed “International Surface Air Lift” or “ISAL.”

293.93 Sealing and Packaging Mail that is sent via the ISAL service may be sealed at the sender’s option. See 244.4 for the packaging methods that are applicable to all letter-post items.

293.94 Makeup Requirements for ISAL 293.941 Packaging The following guidelines apply: a. General. All ISAL mail must be prepared in packages within sacks as appropriate. A package is defined as 10 or more pieces of mail to the same country or separation or 1 pound or more regardless of the number of pieces. Packages of letter-size mail pieces should be no thicker than approximately a handful of mail (4 to 6 inches). Packages of flat-size mail may be thicker than 6 inches but must not weigh more than 11 pounds. Packages and sacks must be prepared and labeled as described below. All mailpieces in a package must be “faced” in the same direction (i.e., arranged so that the addresses read in the same direction, with an address visible on the top piece). Pieces that cannot be bundled because of their physical characteristics may be placed loose in the sack. b. Thickness. Packages of letter-size mail should be no thicker than approximately a handful of mail (4 to 6 inches). Packages of flat-size mail may be thicker than 6 inches but must not weigh more than 11 pounds. Each package must be securely tied. Placing rubber bands around the length and then the girth is the preferred method of securing

IMM Issue 29, July 2003 119 Contents Country Index

293.942 International Mail Manual

packages of letter-size mail. Plastic strapping placed around the length and then the girth is the preferred method of securing packages of flat-size mail. c. Direct Country Packages. When there are 10 or more pieces or 1 pound or more to the same country, then such pieces must be prepared as a direct country package. If there is less than 11 pounds of mail to the same country, then the direct country package must be labeled with a facing slip showing the destination country or country separation. The facing slip must be placed on the address side of the top piece of each package in such a manner that it will not become separated from the package. The pressure-sensitive labels and optional endorsement lines used domestically for presort mail are prohibited for International Surface Air Lift Mail. d. Residual Packages. If there is not enough mail to prepare a direct country package (fewer than 10 pieces or less than 1 pound), the mail is considered residual mail. When there are fewer than 10 pieces to the same country, then such pieces should be combined in packages with other mail for countries within the same rate group that similarly have fewer than 10 pieces. Such mixed country packages must be labeled with a facing slip marked “Residual, Rate Group ___.” The designated rate group (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8) must be inserted as appropriate. The facing slip must be placed on the address side of the top piece of each package in such a manner that it will not become separated from the package. The pressure-sensitive labels and optional endorsement lines used domestically for presort mail are prohibited for International Surface Air Lift Mail. Exception: The 10-piece criterion is when there are fewer than 10 pieces to the same country and those pieces weigh more than 11 pounds. Such mailpieces should be packaged together as a direct country package and placed in a direct country sack. Pieces that cannot be packaged because of their physical characteristics may be placed loose in the sack.

293.942 Sacking Once packages of ISAL mail are prepared, the packages are then placed into one of three types of designated sacks: a. Direct Country Sack. Prepare a direct country sack if there are at least 11 pounds of mail to the same country. The mail must be packaged and enclosed in a gray plastic ISAL sack and labeled to the country with PS Tag 155, Surface Airlift Mail. The maximum weight of a direct country sack must not exceed 66 pounds. b. Mixed Country Package Sack. Prepare a mixed country package sack for those direct country packages where there is less than 11 pounds of mail to the same country. The mail must be packaged as direct country packages, identified with a facing slip showing the destination country or country separation, and enclosed in a green pouch labeled to the dropship ISAL service center. PS Tag 155 also must be attached to the sack. Prepare a mixed country package sack for each of the respective

Residual Sack. Prepare a residual sack for those packages of mail that contain fewer than 10 pieces or less than 1 pound of mail to any one country (residual packages). The mail must be packaged as residual packages, appropriately identified with a facing slip, and enclosed in a green pouch labeled to the Drop Shipment ISAL service center. PS Tag 155 also must be attached to the sack. The mailer must prepare a residual sack for each of the respective rate groups for which there is a residual package and label it as follows: H Rate group 1 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 H Rate group 2 — AMC Miami 33159 H Rate group 3 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 H Rate group 4 — AMC San Francisco 941 H Rate group 5 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 H Rate group 6 — AMC Miami 33159 H Rate group 7 — AMC San Francisco 941 H Rate group 8 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003

293.943 Sack Labeling Depending on the type of sack, labels are prepared as follows: a. Direct Country Sack. For a direct country sack, use a gray plastic ISAL sack. Use PS Tag 155 to label each sack with the destination country’s name. Mailers must complete four blocks on PS Tag 155: (1) To (Pour) Block: Enter the name of the ISAL country foreign exchange office, its three-letter exchange office code, and the country’s name.

Conditions for Mailing 294.62

294.5 Customs Forms Required Printed matter known to be dutiable in the country of destination must have a green customs label (PS Form 2976) affixed to the address side of the articles. (See 123 for detailed requirements for customs documentation.) This requirement is applicable to dutiable printed matter mailed in a direct sack (M-bags) (see 260).

294.6 Mailing Locations

294.61 Standard Entry Surface mail that is entered at publishers’ periodicals rates must be prepared in accordance with the provisions of 244.5 and tendered at a Post Office facility or other location that has been designated by the local postmaster.

294.62 Drop Shipment A publisher or registered news agent who deposits publishers’ periodicals directly at the New Jersey International & Bulk Mail Center (NJI&BMC), under a drop shipment authorization, is eligible for a $0.25 per pound postage rate discount, when the following conditions of entry are met: a. The mailer must obtain a drop shipment authorization (PS Form 8125, Plant-Verified Drop Shipment (PVDS) Verification and Clearance) from the Post Office of original/additional entry, the business mail entry unit (BMEU), or the detached mail unit (DMU) where their mailing records are maintained. b. The mailer must bring their sorted publishers’ periodicals to the Postal Service location referenced in 294.62a, where Postal Service acceptance employees will check the statement of mailing to ensure proper application of the $0.25 per pound drop ship discount; confirm funds availability; and verify compliance with the prescribed mail makeup requirements. c. Publishers’ periodicals that are to be drop shipped at the NJI&BMC are subject to the mail makeup requirements contained in 294.41 and 294.42, except as specified below. Exception: A drop shipment customer who has fewer than 11 pounds of publishers’ periodicals for a particular country or country separation is required to place those residual mailpieces into a country-specific “skin” sack rather than aggregating them into a mixed working foreign sack, as specified in 294.422. Residual bundles or packages that are placed into a skin sack are subject to the sorting, sacking, and labeling requirements for country sacks that are contained in 294.41 (except 294.41c) and 294.421, for all countries, except Canada, and in 294.43, for Canada only. d. A publisher or agent who has a minimum of 250 pounds of mail for a single destination country may dispense with the use of sacks by placing the requisite presorted bundles or packages onto a strapped or shrink-wrapped pallet. To be admissible, a palletized load of discounted publishers’ periodicals must conform to the mailing standards contained

The relevant statement of mailing and drop shipment authorization (i.e., PS Form 8125) must be presented at the time of entry. f. Publishers’ periodicals that are enclosed in direct sacks of printed matter to one addressee (M-bags) are not subject to the $0.25 per pound postage discount that is referenced in this section.
