Global Express Guaranteed

    Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) is the Postal Service's premier 
international expedited product provided through an alliance with FedEx 
Express[supreg]. The price increase for GXG service averages 7.1 
percent.
    The Postal Service provides Commercial Base pricing to online 
customers who prepare and pay for GXG shipments via USPS-approved 
payment methods (with the exception of Click-N-Ship[supreg] service), 
with a 5 percent discount off the published retail prices for GXG. 
Customers who prepare GXG shipments via Click-N-Ship service will now 
pay retail prices.
    The Postal Service continues to offer Commercial Plus pricing for 
large volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual 
postal revenue from GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority 
Mail International, and First-Class Package International Service via 
USPS-approved payment methods. The Postal Service will also continue to 
include GXG in customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) 
contracts offered to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and 
are willing to commit a larger amount of revenue in international 
postage.

Priority Mail Express International

    Priority Mail Express International (PMEI) service provides fast 
service to approximately 180 countries. Priority Mail Express 
International with Money-Back Guarantee service is available for 
certain destinations. The price increase for Priority Mail Express 
International service averages 11.6 percent. The Commercial Base price 
for customers that prepare and pay for Priority Mail Express 
International shipments via permit imprint, online at USPS.com[supreg], 
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 Express International 
shipments via Click-N-Ship service will now pay retail prices. The 
Postal Service continues to offer Priority Mail Express International 
Commercial Plus pricing to large volume customers who commit to 
tendering $100,000 in annual postal revenues from GXG, Priority Mail 
Express International, Priority Mail International, and First-Class 
Package International Service. The Postal Service will also continue to 
include Priority Mail Express International in

[[Page 65140]]

customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) contracts offered 
to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to 
commit a larger amount of revenue in international postage.
    We are discontinuing the Priority Mail Express International Flat 
Rate Box. Customers who present items at retail to be mailed in a 
Priority Mail Express International Flat Rate Box will pay the retail 
price based on the item's weight and price group.
    Priority Mail Express International flat rate pricing continues to 
be available for Flat Rate Envelopes. New this year, the prices for 
what was formerly the ``all other countries'' rate group are being 
replaced with flat rate prices in seven rate groups, based on 
geographical regions.

Priority Mail International

    Priority Mail International (PMI) is an economical way to send 
merchandise and documents to about 180 countries. The price increase 
for Priority Mail International service averages 10.2 percent. The 
Commercial Base price for customers that 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 now pay retail prices. The Postal Service continues to offer 
Priority Mail International Commercial Plus pricing to large volume 
customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal revenues 
from GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail 
International, and First-Class Package International Service. The 
Postal Service will continue to include Priority Mail International in 
customized Global Expedited Package Services (GEPS) contracts offered 
to customers who meet certain revenue thresholds and are willing to 
commit to a larger amount of revenue to the USPS[supreg] for Priority 
Mail Express International and Priority Mail International.
    Priority Mail International flat rate pricing continues to be 
available for Flat Rate Envelopes, Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes, and 
Medium and Large Flat Rate Boxes. New this year, the prices for what 
was formerly the ``all other countries'' rate group are being replaced 
with flat rate prices in seven rate groups, based on geographical 
regions.
    In this filing, we are proposing a structural change in the way 
insurance is provided and reimbursed for Priority Mail International. 
Priority Mail International shipments containing merchandise (other 
than in Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes and 
Flat Rate Envelopes) will now be insured against loss, damage, or 
missing contents up to $200 at no additional charge. Additional 
insurance coverage up to a maximum of $5,000 (depending on individual 
country insurance limits) may be purchased at the sender's option. 
Priority Mail International shipments containing nonnegotiable 
documents (other than in Priority Mail International Flat Rate 
Envelopes and Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes) will now be insured against 
loss, damage, or missing contents up to $100 for document 
reconstruction at no additional charge. The insurance coverage will be 
provided on all outbound Priority Mail International shipments accepted 
at retail or paid for by using postage validation imprinter (PVI) 
labels, postage meter imprints, USPS-approved PC Postage, Click-N-Ship 
service postage, or permit imprint.
    Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation International service -- 
abbreviated E-USPS DELCON INTL--is an optional service available for 
Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelopes (except for the Gift 
Card Flat Rate Envelope) and all Small Flat Rate Priced Boxes to select 
destination countries, for customers using select software or online 
tools, at no charge. We are adding E-USPS DELCON INTL service to four 
countries with this price change: Lebanon, Norway, Slovak Republic, and 
Turkey.
    In the May 2015 price change, we created new price zones for 
Priority Mail International to Canada, based on the distance of the 
origin ZIP Code to the serving International Service Center (ISC). An 
ISC Zone Chart is now available for a subscription fee from the 
National Customer Support Center in Memphis, Tennessee, to support 
zone-based pricing for Priority Mail International to Canada. The chart 
will enable mailers to determine the applicable zone, based on the 
origin ZIP Code. Once the zone and weight of the item are known, the 
mailer will be able to determine the applicable postage price.

First-Class Package International Service

    First-Class Package International Service (FCPIS) is an economical 
international service for small packages weighing less than 4 pounds 
and not exceeding $400 in value. The pricing structure for FCPIS will 
continue to be simpler than for some other international products, with 
identical prices for 0 to 8 ounces within each country price group, and 
identical prices for 9 to 32 ounces within each country price group. 
The price increase for FCPIS averages 21.6 percent. The Commercial Base 
price for customers that 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 First-Class Package 
International Service shipments via Click-N-Ship service will now pay 
retail prices. Commercial Plus pricing will be available to large 
volume customers who commit to tendering $100,000 in annual postal 
revenue for GXG, Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail 
International, and First-Class Package International Service.
    Electronic USPS Delivery Confirmation International service--
abbreviated E-USPS DELCON INTL--is an optional service available for 
First-Class Package International Service items to select destination 
countries, for customers using select software or online tools, at no 
charge. We are adding E-USPS DELCON INTL service to four countries with 
this price change: Lebanon, Norway, Slovak Republic, and Turkey.

International Priority Airmail and International Surface Air Lift

    Published prices for International Priority Airmail (IPA) and 
International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) will increase by 4.2 percent for 
IPA and 3.5 percent for IPA M-bags, as well as 6.3 percent for ISAL and 
5.3 percent for ISAL M-bags. The structure of IPA and ISAL price 
categories will continue to be priced by the worldwide and 19 country 
price groups and applicable mail shapes (letters and postcards, large 
envelopes [flats], and packages [small packets and rolls]). These 
categories correspond to the Universal Postal Convention requirements 
to use shape-based pricing. For IPA and ISAL, the Postal Service offers 
incentive pricing through International Negotiated Service Agreements 
(NSAs).
    International Priority Airmail (IPA) service, including IPA M-bags, 
is a bulk commercial service that provides business mailers with rapid 
and economical worldwide delivery for volume mailings of First-Class 
Mail International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and 
FCPIS packages (small packets) weighing up to a maximum 4.4 pounds. IPA 
is dispatched to the destination country where it is entered into the 
postal administration's air or surface priority mail system for 
delivery. The overall

[[Page 65141]]

price increase for IPA service averages 4.2 percent.
    International Surface Air Lift (ISAL) service, including ISAL M-
bags, is a bulk commercial service that provides economical worldwide 
delivery to business mailers of volume mailings of all First-Class Mail 
International postcards, letters, large envelopes (flats), and FCPIS 
packages (small packets) weighing up to 4.4 pounds. ISAL is dispatched 
to the destination country where it is then entered into the postal 
administration's surface nonpriority network for delivery. The overall 
price increase for ISAL service averages 6 percent.

Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One Addressee (Airmail M-Bags)

    Airmail M-bags are direct sacks of printed matter sent to a single 
foreign addressee at a single address. Prices are based on the weight 
of the sack. The price increase for Airmail M-bags averages 9.2 
percent.

International Extra Services and Fees

    Depending on country destination and mail type, customers may add a 
variety of extra services to their outbound shipments. Prices for some 
of these extra services are increasing:
    [ssquf] International Postal Money Orders will increase 5.6 
percent.
    [ssquf] International Money Order Inquiry Fee will increase 3.5 
percent.
    [ssquf] International Money Transfer Service will increase 3.3 to 
3.7 percent, depending on the rate cell.
