Commercial base pricing for Global Express Guaranteed (GXG), Express Mail International, and Priority Mail International is expanded to include qualifying end-user customers that pay postage using Information-Based Indicia (IBI) postage meters and transmit customs forms electronically. IBI is a digitally-generated indicia that includes a two-dimensional barcode.

The commercial base price is expanded to include qualifying end-user customers that pay postage using IBI postage meters and transmit customs forms electronically.

The number of country price groups for Express Mail International has expanded from 9 to 10 price groups. Country price group 10 is established for items sent to Australia and New Zealand.

Priority Mail International

Priority Mail International offers economical prices for reliable delivery of documents and merchandise, usually within 6 to 10 business days.

The price increase for retail Priority Mail International averages approximately 8.5 percent. The commercial base price for customers that prepare and pay for shipments online at usps.com or by using an authorized PC Postage vendor will remain 5 percent below the retail price.

The new Priority Mail International small flat-rate box is available to enhance customer choice, convenience, and ease of use. The box is identified by the words "Small Flat-Rate Box" printed on the packaging. The maximum weight is 4 lbs. Pricing for the new Priority Mail International small flat-rate box is $10.95 for shipments to Canada or Mexico and $12.95 for shipments to all other countries.

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

M-bags are direct sacks of printed matter to one addressee. Prices are based on the total weight of the contents in the bag.
