The Postal Service provides Commercial Base® pricing to online customers who prepare and pay for GXG shipments via USPS-approved payment methods (other than Click-N-Ship® service), with a 5 percent discount off the published retail prices for GXG service. Customers who prepare GXG shipments via Click-N-Ship service will continue to pay retail prices. Commercial Plus® prices are set to match the Commercial Base prices.

Priority Mail Express International

Priority Mail Express International (PMEI) service provides fast service to approximately 180 countries in 3-5 business days for many major markets, although the actual number of days may vary based upon origin, destination and customs delays. Priority Mail Express International with Money-Back Guarantee service is available for certain destinations. The price increase for PMEI service averages 3.6 percent. The Commercial Base price for customers who prepare and pay for PMEI shipments via permit imprint, online at USPS.com®, or as registered end-users using an authorized PC Postage vendor (with the exception of Click-N-Ship service) will be an average of 5.9 percent below the retail price. Customers who prepare PMEI shipments via Click-N-Ship service pay retail prices. Commercial Plus® prices will be equivalent to Commercial Base; however, deeper discounting may still be made available to customers through negotiated service agreements. Also, three additional country price groups are being added for PMEI. In order to better align the country groupings based on volume and geography, the country groupings for PMEI will be realigned.

The Postal Service will continue to include Priority Mail Express International service in customized contracts offered to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to commit a large amount of revenue to the USPS® for Priority Mail Express International service and Priority Mail International service.

Priority Mail Express International flat rate pricing continues to be available for Flat Rate Envelopes.

The price increase for Priority Mail International service averages 5.1 percent. The Commercial Base price for customers who prepare and pay for PMI items via permit imprint, online at USPS.com, or as registered end-users using an authorized PC Postage vendor (with the exception of Click-N-Ship service) will be 5 percent below the retail price. Customers who prepare Priority Mail International shipments via Click-N-Ship service will pay retail prices. Commercial Plus prices are set to match Commercial Base prices. Commercial Plus prices will be equivalent to Commercial Base; however, deeper discounting may still be made available to customers through negotiated service agreements. Also, three additional country price groups are being added for PMEI.

The price increase for FCPIS averages 4.8 percent. The Commercial Base price, available to customers who prepare and pay for FCPIS items via permit imprint or by USPS-approved online payment methods, will be 5 percent below the retail price. Customers who prepare FCPIS shipments via Click-N-Ship service pay retail prices. Commercial Plus prices will be equivalent to Commercial Base; however, deeper discounting will still be made available to customers through negotiated service agreements. Eleven additional country price groups are being added for FCPIS. In order to better align the country groupings for FCPIS based on volume and geography, the country groupings for FCPIS will be realigned. Also, the minimum size limits of small packets when sent as FCPIS will be revised to conform to Universal Postal Union (UPU) standards. The minimum dimensions will be changed to 6 inches in length and 4 inches in height.

Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation International service—abbreviated E-USPS DELCON INTL—is available for First-Class Package International Service items to select destination countries at no charge.

International Priority Airmail and International Surface Air Lift

International Priority Airmail (IPA) service, including IPA M-bags, is a commercial service designed for volume mailings of all First-Class Mail International postcards, letters, and large envelopes (flats), and for volume mailings of First-Class Package International Service packages (small packets) weighing up to a maximum of 4.4 pounds. IPA shipments are typically flown to foreign destinations (exceptions apply to Canada and Mexico) and are then entered into that country's air or surface priority mail system for delivery. The price increase for IPA letters, flats, and packets is 74.1 percent. International Surface Airlift (ISAL) is similar to IPA except that once flown to the foreign destination, it is entered into that country's surface nonpriority mail system for delivery. The price increase for ISAL letters, flats, and packets is 32.6 percent. One additional country price group is being added to both IPA and ISAL. In order to better align the country groupings for IPA and ISAL based on volume and geography, the country groupings for IPA and ISAL will be realigned. Also, the minimum size limits of small packets when sent as IPA or ISAL will be revised to conform to Universal Postal Union (UPU) standards. The minimum dimensions will be changed to 6 inches in length and 4 inches in height.
