Its counterpart in the domestic mail service is the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®). Cross-references to the DMM are provided wherever domestic conditions and procedures apply to the preparation or treatment of international mail.

112 Mailer Responsibility Regardless of any statement contained in this manual or the statements of any employee of the United States Postal Service®, the burden rests with the mailer to ensure that he or she has complied with the prescribed laws and regulations governing domestic and international mail, both those of the United States and those of the destination country. Full responsibility rests with the mailer to comply with all postal and nonpostal laws and regulations regarding the mailing of dangerous goods. Anyone who mails, or causes to be mailed, nonmailable or improperly packaged dangerous goods can be subject to legal penalties, including but not limited to those specified in 18 U.S.C.

113 Individual Country Listings Individual Country Listings (ICLs) provide information about conditions of mailing, postage prices, and extra services for each country. ICLs are arranged alphabetically. Most subtitles are followed by a chapter citation in parentheses.

At least the entire right half of the address side of the envelope, package, or card should be reserved for the destination address, postage, labels, and postal notations. b. Addresses must be printed in ink or typewritten. Pencil is unacceptable. c. The name and address of addressee must be written legibly with roman letters and arabic numbers, all placed lengthwise on one side of the item. For parcels, addresses should also be written on a separate slip enclosed in the parcel. d. Addresses in Russian, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Japanese, or Chinese characters must bear an interline translation in English of the names of the post office and country of destination. If the English translation is not known, the foreign language words must be spelled in roman characters (print or script). See 292.41 and 293.91 for an optional addressing procedure that applies only to direct country sacks of International Priority Airmail (IPA) or International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) mail, respectively. e. Mail may not be addressed to a person in one country “in care of” a person in another country. f. The name of the sender and/or addressee may not be in initials except where they are an adopted trade name. g. Mail may not be addressed to Boxholder or Householder. h. The following exceptional form of address, in French or a language known in the country of destination, may be used on printed matter: the addressee’s name or Occupant. Example: Mr. Thomas Clark or Occupant i. The house number and street address or box number must be included when mail is addressed to towns or cities. j. The address of items sent to General Delivery must indicate the name of the addressee and the country of destination. The use of initials; figures; simple, given names; or fictitious names is not permitted on articles addressed for general delivery.

4 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 International Mail Services 123.1

k. The delivery address should be printed in all uppercase letters. The name of the place of destination and the name of the country of destination must be written in capital letters together with the correct post code number or delivery zone number, if any. The last line of the address must show only the country name, written in full (no abbreviations) and in capital letters. If possible, the address should have no more than five lines. For example:

Mr Thomas Clark MS C P Apple 117 Russell Drive Apartado 3068 LONDON WIP 6HQ 46807 PUERTO VALLARTA JALISCO GREAT BRITAIN MEXICO

Exception: To Canada, there must be two spaces between the province abbreviation and the postal code, as shown below between “ON” and “KIA 0B1”:

MS HELEN SAUNDERS 1010 CLEAR STREET OTTAWA ON K1A 0B1 CANADA

122.2 Return Address Due to heightened security, many foreign postal administrations require complete sender and addressee information in roman letters and arabic numerals on postal items. The complete address of the sender, including ZIP Code and country of origin, should be shown in the upper left corner of the address side of the envelope, package, or card. Only one return address may be used. It must be located so that it does not affect either the clarity of the address of destination or the application of service labels and notations (postmarks, etc.). Unregistered items bearing a return address in another country are accepted only at the sender’s risk. In the case of bulk mailings, the return address must be in the country of mailing. For the purpose of this section, a “bulk mailing” is 200 or more pieces mailed at the same time by the sender.

123 Customs Forms and Online Shipping Labels

123.1 General Only two customs declaration forms are used, as required under 123.6, for international mail: PS Form 2976, Customs Declaration CN 22 — Sender’s Declaration (green label); and PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note — CP 72.

The application clearly explains the process necessary for authorization. When authorized by the NCSC, a mailer may omit printing the Post Office copy (copy 5) of PS Forms 2976 and/or 2976-A by submitting an authorized manifest listing of the items. The manifest must be typewritten, legibly handwritten, or computer-generated, and must contain the following information: a. The sender’s name and address. b.

123.62 Known Mailers A “known mailer” is defined as: a. A business customer who tenders volume mailings through a business mail entry unit (BMEU) or other bulk mail acceptance location, completes a postage statement at the time of entry, pays postage through an advance deposit account, and uses a permit imprint as an indication of postage payment. International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) and International Priority Airmail (IPA) customers are considered to be “known mailers” for this purpose. b. A federal, state, or local government agency whose mail is regarded as Official Mail. c. A contractor who sends out prepaid mail on behalf of a military service, provided the mail is endorsed “Contents for Official Use — Exempt from Customs Requirements.” Note: “Known mailers” are exempt from the customs form requirement that would otherwise apply to mailpieces weighing 16 ounces or more provided that the following conditions of entry are met: a. The mailpieces contain no merchandise items or other contents that are potentially dutiable. b. The mailer pays postage through an advance deposit account and accounts for the postage on the required postage statement. Exception: Mailpieces that are paid for by postage meter do not qualify for the “known mailer” exemption.

Such mailpieces must bear the ISAL/IPA service endorsements prescribed in 292.22 and 293.75, respectively.

130 Mailability

131 General

131.1 Domestic Limits All articles that are nonmailable in domestic mail are nonmailable in international mail. See DMM 601 and Publication 52, Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail.

131.2 International Limits Many articles that are mailable in domestic mail are nonmailable in international mail. See chapter 6 of Publication 52 and “Prohibitions and Restrictions” in the Individual Country Listings.

16 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 International Mail Services 131.51

131.3 Individual Country Prohibitions and Restrictions

131.31 Information Available Information on articles that are prohibited or restricted to individual countries appears under “Prohibitions and Restrictions” in the Individual Country Listings. These prohibitions and restrictions are based on information furnished by the countries concerned. Customers should inquire at the Post Office facility about specific prohibitions or restrictions.

131.32 Prohibited and Restricted Articles Articles that are prohibited by the destination country are nonmailable. For mail known to contain articles restricted by the destination country, the sender must be informed of the restrictions and advised that the articles are subject to the import requirements of that country.

131.33 Return or Seizure of Mail A country may return or seize mail containing articles prohibited or restricted within that country, whether or not notice of such prohibition or restriction has been provided to or published by the Postal Service.

131.34 Foreign Customs Information The Postal Service does not maintain or provide information concerning the assessment of customs duty in other countries. Postal Service employees must not attempt to inform customers whether articles (gifts or commercial shipments) will be subject to customs duty. Postal Service employees may suggest to customers, however, that they inform the addressees in advance of the articles they intend to mail. Addressees can then obtain information from their local customs authorities. No provision is made for prepayment of customs duty on mail addressed for delivery in foreign countries. If duties or taxes are assessed, most countries will collect from the recipient a customs clearance and delivery fee, in addition to the duties and taxes. This fee is authorized by international postal agreements to reimburse the delivery service for the costs it incurs in clearing the items through customs and collecting duties at the time of delivery. The duties, taxes, and fee, if applicable, are not included in the postage paid by the mailer.

131.4 Mailer Responsibility Regardless of any statement in this manual or the statement of any employee of the United States Postal Service, the burden rests with the mailer to ensure compliance with domestic, international, and individual country rules and regulations for mailability.

131.5 Preparation for Mailing

131.51 General Packaging Requirements Parcels of articles or goods must meet the requirements of DMM 601. The size and weight limits for each of several grades of fiberboard boxes are as specified for difficult loads in DMM 601. Reinforce boxes in each of two directions around the package.

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 17 131.52 International Mail Manual

131.52 Special Packaging Requirements Each mailer must meet the following special packaging requirements when mailing any of the following articles (see DMM 601): a. Fragile articles, such as glass, must be cushioned as required to dissipate shock and pressure forces over as much of the surface of the item as possible. b. Liquids must be packaged as required. c. Package fatty substances that do not easily liquefy, such as ointments, soft soap, resins, etc., as well as silkworm eggs, in an interior container (box, cloth, or plastic bag) and place them in an outer shipping container of minimum 275-grade test strength. d. Enclose dry, powdered dyes, such as aniline, in sift-proof, sturdy tin or plastic boxes in an outer sift-proof shipping container. This container must have a minimum 275-grade test strength fiberboard or equivalent.

132 Written, Printed, and Graphic Matter

Advertisements for abortion. b. Advertisements for motor vehicle master keys. c. Copyright violations. d. Fictitious matter. e. Lottery matter. f. Matter inciting violence. g. Solicitations in the guise of bills or statements of account. h. Solicitations or inducements for mailing harmful matter, radioactive materials, controlled substances, or intoxicating liquors.

132.2 Reply Cards and Envelopes Mailpieces that are sent to foreign addressees may not contain prepaid reply cards or envelopes that bear a U.S. postage stamp, meter stamp, meter impression, or a domestic business reply indicia. See 373 for regulations governing mailer use of International Business Reply Service (IBRS). Exception: The prohibition against enclosing U.S. domestic business reply cards or envelopes does not apply when they are bound into, are stapled to, or form an integral part of the printed page of mailpieces that are periodicals. Such enclosures may be admitted so long as they are not used as response vehicles by foreign recipients and the postal administrations of the destination countries do not object to their presence in U.S. origin publications.

18 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 International Mail Services 135.11

133 Improperly Addressed Mail The following items are nonmailable in international mail: a. Unaddressed items. b. Items whose ultimate destination cannot be determined due to insufficient, illegible, or incorrect addressing. c. Items bearing multiple addresses to the same or different countries.

134 Valuable Articles

134.1 List of Articles The following valuable articles may be sent only by registered Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope, registered First-Class Mail International, or insured Priority Mail International shipments and are not mailable in Express Mail International or ordinary Priority Mail International shipments (see 221.2 and 233): a. Coins, banknotes, and currency notes (paper money). b. Instruments payable to bearer. (The term “instruments payable to bearer” includes checks, drafts, or securities that can be legally cashed or easily negotiated by anyone who may come into possession of them. A check or draft payable to a specific payee is not regarded as payable to bearer unless the payee has endorsed it.

140 International Mail Categories

141 Definitions

141.1 General There are four principal categories of international mail that are primarily differentiated from one another by speed of service. They are Global Express Guaranteed® (GXG®) service, Express Mail International® service, Priority Mail International service, and First-Class Mail International service.

141.2 Global Express Guaranteed Global Express Guaranteed is the U.S. Postal Service’s premium international mail service. Global Express Guaranteed is an expedited delivery service that is the product of a business alliance between the U.S. Postal Service and FedEx Corporation. It provides reliable, high-speed, time-definite service from designated U.S. ZIP Code™ areas to locations in most destination countries. Global Express Guaranteed is assured to meet destination-specific delivery standards or the postage will be refunded. If a shipment is lost or damaged, liability for lost or damaged merchandise or for document reconstruction is limited to a maximum of $100 or the amount of additional optional insurance purchased. The maximum weight limit for this service is 70 pounds, but some countries have a lower maximum weight limit. Countries with reduced weight limits are specified in the Individual Country Listings and in Publication 141, Global Express Guaranteed Service Guide.

141.3 Express Mail International The next level of service, in terms of speed and value-added features, is Express Mail International. Express Mail International is an expedited mail service that can be used to send documents and merchandise to most of the

141.4 Priority Mail International a. With the exception of the flat-rate envelope, Priority Mail International is governed by the parcels provisions of the Universal Postal Convention. That classification is primarily designed to accommodate larger and heavier shipments, whose size and/or weight transcend the established limitations for First-Class Mail International. At the sender’s option, extra services, such as insurance coverage and return receipt service, may be added on a country-specific basis. b. Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope is an accelerated airmail service that provides customers with a reliable and economical means of sending correspondence, documents, printed matter, and light- weight merchandise items to foreign destinations. The maximum weight limit is 4 pounds. Registered Mail service is available for the Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope. Insurance is not available in combination with Priority Mail International flat-rate envelope service.

First-Class Mail International items may contain any mailable matter that is not hazardous or prohibited by the destination country. Aerogrammes are not available for purchase. Previously purchased aerogrammes are mailable at the applicable First-Class Mail International price. At the sender’s option, extra services, such as registry and return receipt, may be added on a country-specific basis. Note: The term First-Class Mail International encompasses all of the classes of international letter-post mail (i.e., letter and letter packages, postcards, printed matter, and small packets) that were formerly categorized as LC (letters and cards) and AO (other articles) respectively.

151 Postage Prices See Individual Country Listings.

152 Payment Methods

152.1 Prepayment Each item must be fully prepaid to ensure prompt dispatch and to avoid assessment of charges against the addressee. For the treatment of shortpaid and unpaid mail, see 420.

152.2 Stamps a. Postage and fees for extra services (see chapter 3) may be paid by means of U.S. postage stamps, postage meter stamps, or postage validation imprinter (PVI) labels. PVIs are acceptable for all international mail transactions. b. Mailer precanceled stamps may be used with international mail under the same conditions as are applicable to domestic mail. See DMM 604. c. Nondenominated postage stamps (except for those that bear unique domestic markings, such as First-Class Presort, Nonprofit Org.) may be affixed to postal items that are sent to foreign countries. The value of such stamps is linked to either a current or a former domestic postage price (e.g., the “Lady Liberty and U.S. Flag” stamp has a postage value of 39 cents). The postage value of the Forever Stamp, as well as the nondenominated Breast Cancer Research semipostal stamp, is always the domestic First-Class Mail single-piece 1-ounce letter price that is in effect on the day of use (mailing). Since international postage prices are always higher than the comparable domestic postage prices, mailers who affix a single nondenominated postage stamp to their outbound mailpieces must add additional postage to comply with the international price schedule. Note: See DMM 604 for stamps not valid as postage.

212.2 Commercial Base Prices

212.21 General Commercial base prices apply to Global Express Guaranteed mailings that do not qualify for the volume discount schedule and the customer prepares and pays for Global Express Guaranteed shipments online at usps.com or by using an authorized PC Postage vendor. The Global Express Guaranteed online application provides the necessary systems for tracking usage and volume, as well as verifying and protecting revenue. Commercial base pricing does 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.

212.22 Online Prices Global Express Guaranteed published prices will be reduced by 10 percent for all payments at usps.com or made through an authorized PC Postage vendor. The 10-percent reduction applies only to the postage portion of the Global Express Guaranteed price. It does not apply to the pickup service charge or additional insurance fees. The commercial base price is automatically applied to each shipment.

212.23 Eligibility for Online Prices Customers must register via the Global Express Guaranteed Web site, 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 commercial base price. To be eligible for online prices, customers must prepare their shipping labels and pay for their shipments online using a credit card.

Also, exclude the selvage of any polywrap covering

68 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Conditions for Mailing 244.3

244.4 Packaging The following packaging methods may be used when entering First-Class Mail International items: a. Mailers must package mailpieces to withstand normal transit and handling without content or package breakage, injury to USPS employees, or damage to other mail or USPS equipment. b.

Note: Transparent plastic packaging is acceptable for international mailing purposes. d.

First-Class Mail International items may contain dutiable merchandise unless the country of destination prohibits dutiable merchandise in letters. (See Individual Country Listings.) c. When mailing articles that may be dutiable, sender must comply with 123.61 and with special instructions under “Customs Forms Required” and “Observations” in Individual Country Listings.

244.52 Nondutiable Merchandise Nondutiable merchandise may be mailed (at the sender’s risk) to countries that do not accept dutiable merchandise. The Postal Service assumes no responsibility for the treatment such items may receive in the country of destination. Note: Because PS Form 2976 described in 123.61, generally denotes dutiable contents, it should be omitted from First-Class Mail International when the sender knows the contents are not dutiable.

292.2 Postage

For both options, there are full service prices for mail deposited at offices other than the drop shipment offices listed in 292.153, and drop shipment prices for mail deposited at one of the drop shipment offices. The per-piece prices and per-pound prices are shown in 292.211. The per-piece price applies to each piece regardless of its weight. The per-pound price applies to the net weight (gross weight minus tare weight of sack) of the mail for the specific price group. Fractions of a pound are rounded to the next whole pound for postage calculation.

292.212 Availability IPA service is available to all foreign countries, as listed in Exhibit 292.442, which shows the price group assigned to each country. 292.213 Presort Prices To qualify for the presort prices (see 292.211), a mailing must consist of a minimum of 11 pounds to a specific price group. This minimum applies to each price group and not to the entire mailing. Within a price 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 prices. Note: There are separate preparation requirements for mail to Canada. See 292.455. 292.214 Separation by Price Group The mailer must specify the price group on the back of PS Tag 115, International Priority Airmail, with 1 (Canada), 2 (Mexico), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or WW (worldwide), and must physically separate the sacks by price group at the time of mailing. 292.215 Computation of Postage Postage is computed on PS Form 3700, Postage Statement — International Mail. Postage at the worldwide nonpresort price is calculated by multiplying the number of pieces in the mailing by the applicable per-piece price, multiplying the net weight (in whole pounds) of the entire mailing by the applicable per-pound price, and then adding the two totals together. Postage at the presorted price is calculated by multiplying the number of pieces in the mailing destined for countries in a specific price group by the appropriate per-piece price, multiplying the net weight (in whole pounds) of those pieces by the corresponding per-pound price, and then adding the two totals together. Volume pricing is calculated on the postage statement.

292.22 Postage Payment Methods 292.221 General a. Postage Meter, Permit Imprint, or Precanceled Stamps. Postage must be paid by postage meter, permit imprint, or mailer-precanceled

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 79 292.222 International Mail Manual

stamps (see DMM 604) or a combination. Postage charges are computed on PS Form 3700. b. Piece Price Portion. The applicable per-piece postage as set forth in the ICM agreement when appliable must be affixed to each piece by meter unless postage is paid by permit imprint or mailer-precancelled stamps (see 292.223). c. Pound Price Portion. Postage for the pound price 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 First-Class Mail International single piece prices. d. Drop Shipment of Metered Mail. Mailers who want to enter metered IPA mail at a Post Office facility other than where the meter is licensed must obtain a drop shipment authorization. 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 705). 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 152.34 are acceptable. The postage charges are computed on PS Form 3700 and deducted from the advance deposit account. Permit imprints must not denote bulk mail, nonprofit, or other domestic or special price mail. Mailers may use permit imprint with nonidentical weight pieces only if authorized to use postage mailing systems under DMM 705.

292.3 Weight and Size Limits Any item sent by IPA must conform to the weight and size limits for First-Class Mail International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and packages (small packets) as described in 240.

292.41 Addressing International Priority Airmail is subject to the addressing requirements contained in 122. a. Exception: International Priority Airmail items destined for Canada must have the applicable alphanumeric postcode included in the delivery address. See 122.1k for the address formatting requirements that generally apply to mailpieces sent to Canada. b. Exception: International Priority Airmail in direct country sacks (see 292.451) 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., Japan) is still required on the individual mailpieces.

292.42 Marking 292.421 Airmail The sender should mark “PAR AVION” or “AIR MAIL” on the address side of each piece. Use of bordered airmail envelopes is optional and may be used for items sent in this service if the envelope contains the “AIR MAIL” endorsement. 292.422 Packages (Small Packets) Items that might be mistaken for another class of mail because of their size, weight, or appearance should be marked “LETTER-POST” on the address side.

292.43 Sealing and Packaging Mail that is sent via the IPA service may be sealed at the sender’s option. See 244.4 for the packaging methods that are applicable to all First-Class Mail International items. Exception: For direct country sacks only, First-Class Mail International folded mailpieces, without envelopes, are admissible provided one of the following methods is used: 1. All of the open sides are secured with tape, tabs, or wafer seals of sufficient quantity and strength to prevent the mailpieces from opening or being damaged during postal handling. 2. The mailpieces meet the physical standards and tabbing requirements in DMM 201.3.

292.44 Sortation Requirements for IPA 292.441 Worldwide Nonpresorted Mail a. Working Packages. IPA mail paid at the nonpresorted price must be made up into working packages. Letters and flats must be packaged separately, although nonidentical pieces may be commingled within each of these categories. Pieces that cannot be packaged because of their physical characteristics must be placed loose in the sack.

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 81 292.442 International Mail Manual

b. Facing of Nonpresorted Mail Within Package. All pieces in the working packages must be faced the same way. 292.442 Presorted Mail a. Direct Country Packages. When there are 10 or more pieces or 1 pound or more of mail for the same country (except Great Britain), it must be made up into a country package. Great Britain requires a finer sortation. At the mailer’s option, a finer breakdown by city or postal code may be made based on sortation information provided by the postal administration of the destination country. b. Country Package Label. (1) The label (facing slip) for country packages that contain 10 or more pieces to a specific country (except for Great Britain and Mexico) must be completed as follows: Line 1: Foreign Exchange Office. Line 2: Country of Destination. Line 3: Mailer, Mailer Location. Example: 1150 VIENNA FLUG AUSTRIA RBA COMPANY WASHINGTON DC

(2) See 292.442 for Direct Country Package Label and PS Tag 178, CN 35 Par Avion, for information. c. Country Packages to Great Britain.

All pieces in the country package must be faced in the same direction and a facing slip identifying the contents of the package 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. Note: The pressure-sensitive labels and optional endorsement lines used domestically for presort mail are prohibited for International Priority Airmail.

See 292.452 for list of U.S. International Exchange Offices. 292.454 Tags and Weight Maximum for Sacks a. PS Tag 115 and PS Tag 178. All IPA sacks (direct country, mixed direct country package sacks, and worldwide nonpresort mail sacks) must be labeled with PS Tag 115, International Priority Airmail. PS Tag 115 is a “Day-Glo” pink tag that identifies IPA mail to ensure that it receives priority treatment. PS Tag 178 (see 292.451) is a dispatching tag to be used only for direct country sacks. PS Tag 178 is white and specially coded to route the mail to a specific country and airport of destination. The Postal Service must complete the blocks on the tag for date, weight, and dispatch information. The mailer must complete only the “To” block showing the destination country. Postal tags and sacks are available from Post Office facilities. b. Sack Weight Maximum. The maximum weight of the sack and contents must not exceed 66 pounds. 292.455 Mail Preparation for Canada To qualify for the presort prices 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 containers. 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 price 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

Items that cannot be prepared in trays because of their size or shape must be placed loose in 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 International Surface Air Lift™ (ISAL®) is a bulk mailing system that provides fast, economical international delivery of First-Class Mail International items. The cost is lower than First-Class Mail International. ISAL shipments are flown to the foreign destinations and entered into that country’s surface or nonpriority mail system for delivery.

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 91 293.2 International Mail Manual

293.2 Qualifying Mail and Minimum Quantity Requirements First-Class Mail International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and packages (small packets), as defined in 141.5, qualify and must be prepared by using the shape-based requirements of First-Class Mail International service (see 240) and the requirements of this subchapter. There is a minimum volume requirement of 50 pounds per mailing. 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. The weight of all residual mail must not exceed 10 percent of the combined weight of all other mail. Qualifying residual mail is subject to the appropriate ISAL price (Full Service, 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).

293.8 Weight and Size Limits Any item sent by ISAL must conform to the weight and size limits for First- Class Mail International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and packages (small packets) as described in 240.

293.9 Mail Preparation

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 293.932a) 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 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 First-Class Mail International items.

98 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Conditions for Mailing 293.931

Exception: For direct country sacks only, First-Class Mail International folded mailpieces, without envelopes, are admissible provided one of the following methods is used: 1. All of the open sides are secured with tape, tabs, or wafer seals of sufficient quantity and strength to prevent the mailpieces from opening or being damaged during postal handling. 2. The mailpieces meet the physical standards and tabbing requirements in DMM 201.3.

293.93 Makeup Requirements for ISAL 293.931 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 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 price group that similarly have fewer than 10 pieces. Such mixed country packages must be labeled

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 99 293.932 International Mail Manual

with a facing slip marked “Residual, Price Group ___.” The designated price group (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9) 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. 293.932 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 universal white plastic 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 universal white plastic sack 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 price groups for which there is a direct country package and label as follows: Price group 1 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 2 — AMC Miami 33159 Price group 3 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 4 — AMC San Francisco 941 Price group 5 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 6 — AMC Miami 33159 Price group 7 — AMC San Francisco 941 Price group 8 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 9 — AMC San Francisco 941 c. 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 universal white plastic sack labeled to the Drop Shipment ISAL service center. PS Tag 155 also must be attached to the sack. The mailer must

100 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Conditions for Mailing 293.933

prepare a residual sack for each of the respective price groups for which there is a residual package and label it as follows: Price group 1 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 2 — AMC Miami 33159 Price group 3 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 4 — AMC San Francisco 941 Price group 5 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 6 — AMC Miami 33159 Price group 7 — AMC San Francisco 941 Price group 8 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 9 — AMC San Francisco 941 293.933 Sack Labeling Depending on the type of sack, labels are prepared as follows: a. Direct Country Sack. For a direct country sack, use a universal white plastic 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. See 293.71 for the name of the foreign exchange office and its three-letter exchange office code. As an example, for Ireland, this block will be as follows: Dublin DUB Ireland (2) Customer Permit No. Block: Enter permit number. (3) Kg. Block: Enter the combined weight of the sack and its contents in kilograms (1 pound = 0.4536 kilogram). (4) Date Block: Enter date as shown on PS Form 3700. After completing the above items on PS Tag 155, attach it to the neck of the sack. b. Mixed Country Package Sack. For a mixed country package sack, use a universal white plastic sack and label it to the appropriate Drop Shipment ISAL service center as follows: Price group 1 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 2 — AMC Miami 33159 Price group 3 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 4 — AMC San Francisco 941 Price group 5 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 6 — AMC Miami 33159 Price group 7 — AMC San Francisco 941 Price group 8 — AMC Kennedy - JFK 003 Price group 9 — AMC San Francisco 941

One coupon is exchangeable in any other member country for a stamp or stamps representing the minimum postage on an unregistered air letter. Unused U.S. coupons (that is those with the U.S. selling price stamped on them) may be exchanged only for United States postage stamps by the original purchaser at a discount of 1 cent below the purchase price.

118 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Extra Services 373.1

b. With the exceptions noted in 372.4d, international reply coupons purchased in foreign countries are exchangeable at U.S. Post Office facilities toward the purchase of postage stamps and embossed stamped envelopes at $0.94 per coupon irrespective of the country where they were purchased.

372.4 Processing Requests a. When an international reply coupon is sold the Postal Service clerk must place a postmark in the block which is headed control stamp of the country of origin. b. Under Universal Postal Union’s regulations member countries are not required to place a control stamp or postmark on the international reply coupons that they sell. Therefore some foreign issue reply coupons which are tendered for redemption may bear the name of the issuing country (generally in French) rather than the optional control stamp or postmark. Such coupons are exchangeable for U.S. postage as specified in 372.3b. c. A Post Office facility redeeming an unused U.S. coupon must postmark it in the unpostmarked circle. A Post Office facility exchanging a foreign reply coupon must postmark it in the right circle. Post Office facilities must not accept foreign coupons that already bear a Postal Service postmark. d. As of October 11, 2007, only international reply coupons printed by the Universal Postal Union can be redeemed at U.S. Post Offices. The valid version of the international reply coupons printed by the Universal Postal Union is approximately 3.75 inches by 6 inches, has a barcode on the back, and has an expiration date of December 31, 2009. This policy is for international reply coupons issued by the United States as well as for those issued by foreign postal administrations. e. Reply coupons formerly issued by the Postal Union of the Americas and Spain are no longer valid. These coupons are printed in green ink and bear the caption Cupon Respuesta America-Espanol. Customers possessing any of these coupons should return them to their correspondents in the country of issue for redemption through the selling post office. f. Postmasters must process exchanged foreign and redeemed U.S. coupons as prescribed in 426.9 International Reply Coupons (IRCs) Handbook F-1 Post Office Accounting Procedures.

373.1 Description International Business Reply Service (IBRS) is similar to domestic business reply mail service.

590 Exporting Wildlife and Protected Plants

591 Special Requirements for Wildlife and Certain Plant Exports Exports of wildlife items and products may be subject to declaration, license, marking, and permit requirements enforced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Similar requirements also apply to plants protected as endangered or threatened under U.S. law or international treaty. Live wildlife and dead animals, with only a few exceptions, may not be exported via the U.S. Postal Service (see 138.1).

592 Declaration Requirements

592.1 Declaration of Wildlife Exports The following wildlife exports must be declared to USFWS and must receive clearance prior to export: a. Commercial exports of wildlife products. b. Shipments of items not intended for commercial use valued at $250 or more. c. Noncommercial shipments of items that require a permit for export (e.g., products made from endangered species or migratory birds) regardless of the dollar value of the shipment. To declare a wildlife export, shippers must complete and file Form 3-177, Declaration for Importation or Exportation of Fish or Wildlife, with USFWS. Copies are available from wildlife inspection offices (see 598), from the U.S. Customs Service, or on the Internet at www.le.fws.gov/le/FAQs/FAQs.htm.

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 143 592.2 International Mail Manual

592.2 Declaration of Scientific Specimens or Parts Form 3-177 is not required at the time of export for shipments of dead, preserved, dried, or embedded scientific specimens or parts when: a. The shipment does not require a permit from USFWS. b. The shipment is exported by an accredited scientist or accredited scientific institution for taxonomic or systematic research purposes. Instead, the scientist or scientific institution (or an agent acting on their behalf) must file Form 3-177 with the assistant regional director for law enforcement in the USFWS administrative region from which the export was mailed within 180 days of export. Contact information is available on the Internet at www.le.fws.gov (click on Contacts).

592.3 Declaration of Plant Exports The export of protected plants is regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). Shippers should contact the Plant Protection and Quarantine (PPQ) division for additional information about export requirements for protected plants. Exporters who engage in the commercial trade of plants listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) must obtain a general permit from APHIS/PPQ in addition to meeting the permit requirements described in 596. All plant exports are subject to phytosanitary inspection and certification rules administered by APHIS/PPQ. Information about plant export requirements can be found on the APHIS/PPQ Web site at www.aphis.usda.gov/ppq.

593 Export Licenses and Inspection Requirements for Commercial Wildlife Exports Individuals or companies that commercially export wildlife must have a valid import/export license from USFWS. Exporters must notify USFWS and make their shipments available for inspection at least 48 hours before the planned exportation date. Exporters must pay appropriate inspection fees.

594 Marking Requirements for Wildlife Exports All packages containing wildlife products must be marked clearly with the name and address of both the shipper and the recipient. Information identifying the contents as fish or wildlife and specifying the quantity and species involved must accompany the shipment. Federal regulations (50 CFR Part 14, Subpart H) explain how to comply with wildlife marking requirements. See 597.

595 Permit Requirements for Wildlife and Plant Exports Permits are required to export any of the following by mail or other means: a. Any wildlife or plant (including parts and products) where the species is listed under CITES. A list of species protected under this treaty is maintained by USFWS at http://international.fws.gov. b. Any wildlife or plant (including parts and products) where the species is listed as endangered or threatened under the U.S.

144 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Nonpostal Export Regulations 597

Endangered Species Act. A list of these species can be found at http://endangered.fws.gov/wildlife.html. c. Migratory birds, parts, feathers, nests, eggs, or items made from them. Permit requirements for export and numerous other protections apply to more than 700 bird species safeguarded under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. A list can be found on the Internet at http://migratorybirds.fws.gov/intrnltr/mbta/mbtandx.html. CITES-listed herbarium specimens; other preserved, dried, or embedded museum specimens; and live plant material may be exported as a noncommercial loan, donation, or exchange between registered scientists or registered scientific institutions using a CITES-authorized label instead of an export permit.

596 Obtaining and Using Permits for Wildlife and Protected Plant Exports

596.1 Export Permits Shippers who need export permits or other documentation required under CITES or the Endangered Species Act should contact USFWS Office of Management Authority (800-358-2104) for the appropriate application forms and instructions. Some CITES-listed species also require permits from the importing country before they can be legally exported.

596.2 CITES Permit The original CITES permit must accompany the shipment. All wildlife exports requiring a CITES permit that are shipped by mail, including personal items mailed overseas, must be declared to USFWS and made available for inspection and permit validation by USFWS wildlife inspectors. Exports of CITES-protected plants must be declared to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service; permits for these shipments must be validated by that agency before export.

596.3 Export of Migratory Birds The export of migratory birds, their parts, feathers, eggs, or nests, or products made from them, is prohibited except with a permit from USFWS. Permit applications and information are available from the regional Migratory Bird Permit Offices located in Albuquerque, NM; Anchorage, AK; Atlanta, GA; Denver, CO; Fort Snelling, MN; Hadley, MA; and Portland, OR.

712 Customs Clearance and Delivery Fee

712.1 Description

712.11 Collecting Postal Service Fees Post Office facilities must collect a Postal Service fee from the addressee for each item on which customs duty or Internal Revenue tax is collected. The Postal Service fee is authorized by international postal agreements to reimburse the Postal Service for costs it incurs clearing items through customs and collecting customs duties at the time of delivery.

154 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Treatment of Inbound Mail 713.11

712.12 Collecting Postal Service Fee for Each Package The Postal Service fee is collected on each package bearing a mail entry Customs Form (CF) 3419, Mail Entry— Customs. When a single mail entry form covers several packages, the Postal Service fee is collected only on the package bearing the CF 3419. The mail entry customs form CF 3419 is enclosed in a red adhesive Treasury Department envelope attached to the outside wrapper or envelope. The form indicates the tariff item number, rate of duty, and amount of duty to be collected plus a customs processing fee, which is assessed on all dutiable mail shipments.

712.13 Accounting for the Postal Service Fee The Postal Service fee, which is retained by the U.S. Postal Service, is accounted for by affixing postage-due stamps to the articles or to a postage-due bill and canceling.

712.14 Recording and Reporting See 713.46 concerning the recording and reporting of customs duty collections.

712.2 Articles Exempted From Postal Service Fee Post Office facilities will not collect a Postal Service fee for customs clearance and delivery in the following cases: a. On dutiable articles from overseas U.S. Post Office facilities (civil or military). b. On parcels assessed with duty that are delivered without collection of duty under 713.233e. c. On mail items examined and passed free of duty by U.S. Customs.

712.3 Amount of Postal Service Fee The Postal Service fee for customs clearance and delivery for each dutiable item is $5.35.

712.4 Postal Service Fee Not Refundable The Postal Service fee for customs clearance and delivery is not refundable by the U.S. Postal Service even though the U.S. Customs Service may later refund the duty paid by the addressee.

712.5 Customs Duties and Customs Fee Not Exempt The exemptions provided for in 712.2 apply only to the Postal Service fee for Customs clearance and delivery. Customs duties and customs fees are not exempt from collection.

Mark the mail “NOTIFIED” and date it. If the addressee does not furnish the required statement within another week, endorse the mail “UNCLAIMED,” and date and treat it as prescribed in 713.3 or 713.5, as appropriate. d. On receipt of the addressee’s written protest, the Post Office facility will promptly: (1) Prepare report, in duplicate, on PS Form 2937, Importer’s Objections. (2) Forward original of PS Form 2937, with supporting statements and both copies of CF 3419, to the customs mail division where CF 3419 was prepared, unless the addressee is located in the vicinity of one of the customs offices listed in 711.62.

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 159 713.4 International Mail Manual

713.4 Payment of Duty

713.41 Duty Rate Information Customers desiring information concerning rates of duty or other customs procedures should communicate directly with the nearest customs office (see 711.62) or with: US CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION OFFICE OF THE COMMISSIONER DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY 1300 PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE SW WASHINGTON DC 20229-0001

713.42 Prepayment of Customs Duty Abroad No provision is made for the prepayment abroad of customs duty on mail shipments addressed for delivery in the United States.

713.43 Registration of Items to Be Returned to the United States 713.431 Customs Form 4455, Certificate of Registration Before sending an item abroad for alterations, repairs, use, or replacement, the owner should submit it to a customs officer for issuance of a Certificate of Registration (Customs Form 4455). Otherwise, the package may be subject to a customs duty when it is returned to the United States. 713.432 Certification by Postal Service Personnel Due to the lack of customs offices in many parts of the country, customers often are unable to have items registered with the U.S. Customs Service before sending them abroad, or are able to do so only after considerable expense and inconvenience. As a service to Postal Service customers, postmasters— or employees they designate— may certify the exportation of items mailed abroad for alteration, repair, use, or replacement under the following conditions: a. The customer must live more than 20 miles from a customs office. In addition to those listed in 711.62, there are a number of other customs locations throughout the country. A customer who lives within 20 miles of any customs office must have the item certified by a customs officer. b. The customer must present the items to be exported in an open state. The package must be accompanied by an original and duplicate copy of Customs Form 4455, which is completed and signed by the sender, and a customs declaration form(s) appropriate to the class of mail. (See 123 for declaration requirements.) Customers may obtain Customs Form 4455 from any customs office. c. The postmaster or designated Postal Service employee must check to see that the description of the item to be exported is the same on both Customs Form 4455 and the customs declaration form. If the description is the same, he or she certifies to the mailing (lading) by completing the “Signature of Customs Officer” space on both copies of Customs Form 4455. A Certificate of Mailing fee of $1.10 must be charged and accounted for by affixing postage stamps to the original and duplicate copies of Customs Form 4455 and canceling each stamp with the Post Office date stamp.

160 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Treatment of Inbound Mail 713.521

d. Both copies of Customs Form 4455 must be returned to the customer. The customer must insert the original in the package so that the foreign addressee can return it with the merchandise. The customer should retain the duplicate for possible use in clearing the merchandise upon its return. e. After the customer has inserted the original Customs Form 4455, he or she must secure and seal the package and return it to the acceptance employee, who will handle it in the usual manner.

713.44 Return of Audio-Visual Materials Customs Form 3311, Declaration for Free Entry of Returned American Products and/or Certificates of Exportation, should accompany outbound shipments of educational films sent to foreign addressees on a loan or rental basis. By enclosing Customs Form 3311, the mailer is indicating that the contents of the shipment are eligible for duty-free handling and classification upon reentry into the United States. This procedure is applicable to shipments of educational films valued at $250 or less, which have been produced in the United States and are returned through the mail by foreign consignees. Customs Form 3311 can be obtained at any Customs Service office.

713.45 Assessment of Duty in Foreign Countries The assessment of customs duty in foreign countries is outside the control of the U.S. Postal Service. Postal Service employees must not attempt to inform customers whether any items— either gifts or commercial shipments— will be subject to customs duty. It may be suggested to customers, however, that they inform the addressee before they mail so that the latter may determine whether those items are dutiable. No provision is made for prepayment of customs duty on mail addressed for delivery in foreign countries.

713.46 Recording and Reporting Collections Post Office facilities making delivery/collection of dutiable mail will deposit the customs collections with Postal Service funds. (See Handbook F-1, Post Office Accounting Procedures, 781 Customs Collection, for accounting and control functions, and the preparation of PS Form 2932, Customs Collections Summary.)

713.5 Treatment of Uncollected Items

713.51 Disposal of Uncollected Items When it is definitely established that a dutiable package is undeliverable, detach both copies of Customs Form (CF) 3419 and treat the package as prescribed in 770. Mark the mail entry forms to show the reason for nondelivery, and report as prescribed in 713.52.

713.52 Reporting of Uncollected Items 713.521 PS Form 2933, Register of Uncollected Customs Charges Complete PS Form 2933, Register of Uncollected Customs Charges, in duplicate, listing uncollected items in numerical order according to the seven-digit serial numbers on Customs Forms (CFs) 3419.

713.53 Past-Due Entries When the U.S. Customs Service fails to receive a remittance of duty or report of disposition made of a dutiable package, the postmaster will receive a set of reproduced copies of Customs Form (CF) 3419. In this circumstance, a search should be made at the Post Office of address and a report of its findings made to the Regional Commissioner of Customs at the address shown in 713.522.

713.54 Detached Customs Mail Entries When a detached Customs Form (CF) 3419 is found, attempt to locate the related package and attach the form to it. If the package cannot be located, send CF 3419 to: US CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION MAIL ENTRY 6650 TELECOM DR STE 100 INDIANAPOLIS IN 46278-0001

713.6 Refund of Customs Duty

713.61 Action by Postmaster 713.611 General Amounts collected on Customs Form (CF) 3419 are not refundable by postmasters. An addressee who requests a refund of duty should be advised to make application to the customs office that issued the mail entry forms within 90 days from the date the duty is paid. If a refund is claimed for damage, it is suggested that the package be forwarded with the application. Any addressee wishing to abandon the package to the government should so state in the application. 713.612 Addressee’s Request for Refund If the addressee wishes to request a refund of duty from the Customs Service and intends to file an indemnity claim with the Postal Service, he or she must present the contents, container, and complete wrapping to the postmaster for the inspection in conjunction with the preparation of

The Postal Service has accepted the damage claim and has received the abandoned merchandise; b. The package and its wrapper and contents with no commercial value have been presented to and retained by the Postal Service; and c. The documents, including the customer’s yellow receipt copy of CF 3419, indicated that customs duty in the stated amount was paid by the customer. Note: This statement, which is to be provided to the customer by the postmaster, is to accompany the customer’s application to the Customs Service for refund of duty. If this statement accompanies the application, the presentation of the abandoned articles is not required by the Customs Service.

713.62 Refunds by Customs Service 713.621 Refund of Duty on Abandoned Merchandise A request for refund of duty paid will be considered by the Customs Service when merchandise covered by Customs Form (CF) 3419 is abandoned, provided: a. The abandoned merchandise represents five percent or more of the total value of all merchandise of the same class or kind entered in the invoice in which the item appears. b. The abandoned merchandise is delivered to the customs office where the CF 3419 was issued, within 90 days of the date of delivery (unless the Secretary of the Treasury authorizes a longer time in writing). 713.622 Refund of Duty on Returned Merchandise a. The refund of duty paid “less 1 percent” will be considered by the Customs Service when merchandise covered by CF 3419 is returned, provided: (1) The returned merchandise does not conform to the sample or specification, or has been shipped without the consent of the consignee. (2) The returned merchandise is delivered to Customs Service custody for exportation within 90 days of the date of delivery (unless the Secretary of the Treasury authorizes a longer time in writing). b. The postal charges incident to returning the merchandise to the sender must be paid by the addressee. 713.623 Refund of Duty on Goods Lost En Route The Customs Service will not refund the duty paid when goods are lost en route after an addressee has paid the customs duty at the Post Office facility and requested that delivery be made at his or her residence or place of business.

730 Shortpaid Mail to the United States

731 Computation of Postage Due a. The postal service of the country of origin identifies and marks shortpaid mail with a T stamp. Next to the T is a fraction that consists of the amount of postage deficiency (expressed in its own currency) divided by the country’s international surface letter price at the first increment. b. The receiving exchange office in the United States multiplies the T fraction by the U.S. First-Class Mail International letter price to determine the short paid amount in U.S. currency. This amount, plus a $0.50 handling charge, accounts for the postage-due amount to be collected on delivery. The postage-due formula is as follows:

IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 165 732 International Mail Manual

shortpaid amount First-Class Mail X T International letter price of postage to U.S. International price

= Postage deficiency in U.S. currency

+ $0.50 handling charge

= Postage due amount

c. The receiving exchange office in the U.S. will imprint stock rubber stamp R-1300-4, Postage Due…Cents, and enter the amount of postage due. d. The delivery office will collect postage-due mail in accordance with DMM 604 and Handbook F-1, Post Office Accounting Procedures.

732 Shortpaid Letters and Cards From Canada Shortpaid mail from Canada is marked with a T in a circle with the actual amount to be collected entered in the circle. No handling charge is assessed or collected on shortpaid mail from Canada.

733 Shortpaid Items Bearing U.S. Postage If an item bears U.S. postage, the delivery office must allow credit for its value when postage due is collected.

740 Irregular Mail

741 Invalid Foreign Postage A foreign originating mailpiece, which bears invalid postage and is accompanied by a letter of explanation from the origin postal administration, is to be rated as an unpaid postal item. Under those circumstances, the addressee should be asked to (1) pay the requisite postage due; (2) disclose the sender’s name and address; and (3) surrender the envelope. After the mailpiece has been tendered to the addressee, the delivery Post Office facility should send the envelope (or the entire article, if refused by the addressee) with the letter of explanation and the sender’s name and address (if disclosed by the addressee) to: MANAGER INTERNATIONAL MARKETING INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS US POSTAL SERVICE 475 L’ENFANT PLZ SW RM 3216 WASHINGTON DC 20260-3216

166 IMM Issue 35, May 12, 2008 Treatment of Inbound Mail 744.1

742 Stamps Not Affixed

742.1 Marking Some items of foreign origin do not bear postage stamps, but instead are marked “POSTAGE PAID,” “ON POSTAL SERVICE,” “SERVICE DES POSTES,” “TAXE PERCUE” or “TP,” or “PORT PAYE” or “PP,” followed by postmark. The marking On Her Majesty’s Service or O.H.M.S. is also sometimes used. Treat this mail as prepaid.

742.2 Parcels Without Postage Stamps Some foreign post offices do not put postage stamps on parcels. All such parcels received must be regarded as prepaid.

743 Parcels Addressed Through Banks or Other Organizations

743.1 Notification of Arrival If a parcel is addressed to a bank or other organization for delivery to a second addressee, the Post Office facility will notify both addressees of the arrival of the parcel and will then deliver it to the first addressee, or hold it if the first addressee so requests. If the parcel is held, the Post Office facility will deliver it to the second address only with written permission from the first addressee, unless the sender has arranged for a change of address.
