39 CFR Part 20
International Mail Manual; Incorporation by Reference
AGENCY: Postal Service.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Postal Service announces the issuance of the Mailing
Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail
Manual (IMM[supreg]), issued April 7, 2025, and its incorporation by
reference in the Code of Federal Regulations.
DATES: This rule is effective May 23, 2025. The incorporation by
reference of certain material listed in this rule is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register as of May 23, 2025.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dale Kennedy, (202) 268-6592.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The International Mail Manual (IMM) provides
our standards for all international mailing services and references for
the applicable prices. It was issued on April 7, 2025, and was updated
with Postal Bulletin revisions through March 6, 2025. It replaces all
previous editions.
The IMM continues to enable the Postal Service to fulfill its long-
standing mission of providing affordable, universal mail service. It
continues to: (1) increase the user's ability to find information; (2)
increase the user's confidence that he or she has found the information
they need; and (3) reduce the need to consult multiple sources to
locate necessary information. The provisions throughout this issue
support the standards and mail preparation changes implemented since
the version of January 21, 2024. The International Mail Manual is
available to the public on the Postal Explorer[supreg] internet site at
https://pe.usps.com.
