Priority Mail Express International 1

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. PMEI with Money-Back 

Guarantee service is available for certain 

destinations. Due to airline travel 

restrictions and cancellations, PMEI 

with Money-Back Guarantee service has 

been suspended for several destinations 

until further notice. For more 

information, see the USPS Service 

Updates page on www.usps.com. The 

price increase for PMEI service averages 

4.9 percent. The Commercial Base price 

provides a discount below the 

published retail prices 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). Customers who prepare PMEI 

shipments via Click-N-Ship service pay 

retail prices. Commercial Plus will be 

equivalent to Commercial Base; 

however, deeper discounting may still 

be available to customers through 

negotiated service agreements. 

The Postal Service will continue to 

include PMEI service in customized 

contracts. 

PMEI flat rate pricing continues to be 

available for Flat Rate Envelopes.

countries in 6–10 business days for 

many major markets, although the 

actual number of days may vary based 

upon origin, destination, and customs 

delays. The price increase for PMI 

service averages 4.9 percent. The 

Commercial Base price provides a 

discount below the published retail 

prices 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). Customers who prepare 

PMI shipments via Click-N-Ship 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. 

The Postal Service will continue to 

include PMI service in customized 

contracts. 

PMI flat rate pricing continues to be 

available for Flat Rate Envelopes, Small 

Flat Rate Boxes, and Medium and Large 

Flat Rate Boxes. 

First-Class Package International 

Service 

First-Class Package International 

Service (FCPIS) is an economical 

international service for small packages 

not exceeding 4 pounds in weight and 

$400 in value. The price increase for 

FCPIS averages 4.9 percent. The 

Commercial Base price provides a 

discount below the published retail 

prices for customers who prepare and 

pay for FCPIS items via permit imprint 

or by USPS-approved online payment 

methods. 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 be 

made available to customer through 

negotiated service agreements. 

Electronic USPS Delivery 

Confirmation International service (E– 

USPS DELCON INTL®) is a tracking 

service available at no charge for FCPIS 

items to select destination countries. 

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 FCPIS 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 are 

then entered into that country’s air or 

surface priority mail system for 

delivery. The price increase for IPA is 

4.9 percent. International Surface Airlift 

(ISAL) is like IPA except that once 

flown to the foreign destination, ISAL is 

entered into that country’s air or surface 

nonpriority mail system for delivery. 

The price increase for ISAL is 28.9 

percent. 

Direct Sacks of Printed Matter to One 

Addressee (Airmail M-Bags) 

An Airmail M-bag is a direct sack of 

printed matter sent to a single foreign 

addressee at a single address. Prices are 

based on the weight of the sack. The 

published prices for Airmail M-bags 

will remain the same on average and not 

increase, although a few prices will 

change slightly. 

International Extra Services and Fees 

Depending on country destination 

and mail type, customers may add a 

variety of extra services to their 

outbound shipments and pay a variety 

of fees. The Postal Service proposes to
