GXG Retail Training Tools Field Information Kit
Overview
This kit is designed to introduce Postal Service™ retail
employees to Global Express Guaranteed
®
(GXG
®
) service
or to refresh their knowledge of it, so that they can confi-
dently offer GXG to customers who are shipping interna-
tionally.
The kit contains the following materials:
General information.
How to order GXG shipping supplies.
Images of GXG shipping labels and commercial
invoices.
Information for postal employees on correctly filling
out GXG forms.
Standard operating procedures for retail associates.
GXG acceptance matrix.
Frequently Asked Questions.
GXG ready reference card.
Background
Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) is the Postal
Service’s fastest international expedited delivery service,
provided through an alliance with FedEx Express. GXG ful-
fills the needs of our customers who require a day-definite
international delivery service with a money-back guaran-
tee.
POS ONE walks retail associates through the process of
completing a GXG transaction and provides the most
up-to-date information and special mailing requirements
for each country. Helpful standard operating procedures
are included in the kit to ensure that retail associates are
confident and thorough as they perform GXG retail trans-
actions.
Information is also provided for those GXG acceptance
offices that do not have POS ONE.
GXG Service for Hawaii Uses a Modified Kit
GXG service for Hawaii begins on October 5, 2009 (see
Postal Bulletin 22266, 8-27-09, page 11). The first Hawaii
GXG acceptance Post Offices have received this retail
training tools kit, with a few differences, directly from
Headquarters. Since GXG acceptance procedures vary
slightly from Mainland GXG acceptance, Hawaiian accep-
tance sites should follow that retail training tools kit.

POS ONE User Info
Postal Codes
Countries That Require Postal Codes
A postal code is required on the shipping label for GXG
items mailed to the countries listed below. POS ONE will
provide a postal code when possible. Only for the countries
below, POS ONE will stop the transaction if no postal code
is provided:
Abbreviated Postal Codes in POS ONE
POS ONE may only show the first few letters/numbers
of the postal code for the following countries, when you
search by city name:
Brazil.
Canada.
Great Britain & Northern Ireland.
Japan.
Tai wan.
Note: The abbreviated postal codes can be entered on the
shipping label, and the shipment will be delivered in accor-
dance with the delivery date.
City Search
Enter at least the first few letters of the city name.
The city search will return a postal code for cities with
one individual postal code.
Example 1: France: ‘Peray’ will be returned with postal
code 72260.
Example 2: France: ‘Paris’ will not be returned with a
postal code because ‘Paris’ has multiple
postal codes.
“All Other Cities” Selection
Some countries offer the option to select “All Other Cit-
ies” when GXG is offered to all destinations within the
country. Only use this option after trying to retrieve the
actual city, because “All Other Cities” will provide the long-
est transit time in that country.
Shipment Contents Selection
Select the items that appear on the shipping label. If the
specific items are not on the POS ONE list, then select a
similar item. Sample scenarios below:
Scenario 1: Customer is shipping a Passport: Search for
Passport > Select Passport
Scenario 2: Customer is shipping an I-Pod: Search for
I-Pod (I-Pod not found) > Search for Computer
> Select Computer Hardware
Scenario 3: Customer is shipping an Airline Ticket: Search
for Airline Ticket > Prompted by POS ONE, ask
customer if ticket is blank or issued > Select
Airline Ticket Blank or Airline Ticket Issued
depending on customer’s response.
Online Label Handling (Click-N-Ship)
If a customer has paid postage online, no additional
postage should be collected at the counter. If the item is
short paid, don’t return the package or document to the
customer. Tell the customer he/she will receive an e-mail
informing him/her that the item is short paid, at which time

GXG International Air Waybill) first. If
PS Form 6182, Commercial Invoice
(CI), is required, leave the shipping
label field marked 8, Total Value for
Customs, blank until after filling out
the CI.
b) When a CI is required, carefully
transfer information from the appro-
priate fields on the shipping label to
the CI. The diagram shows that the
information from the area marked 1
on the shipping label goes to the
area marked 1 on the CI; the informa-
tion from the area marked 2 on the
shipping label goes to the area
marked 2 on the CI, etc.
c) On the CI, add together the total val-
ue of the shipment, the packing cost,
postage/shipping charges, and in-
surance cost to get the Total Invoice
Value. Enter this amount in the field
marked 8 (Item 22) and also the field
marked 8 (Total Value for Customs)
on the shipping label.
d) Refer to the instructions on the next
page for completing the CI.

label at the retail counter (the date is earlier
than the date of mailing), retail associates
should advise the customer that a new label
must be printed. The customer can request a
refund for unused PC postage labels by going
to the Online Postage Refund page. For exam-
ple, with Click-N-Ship service, the customer
goes to the Click-N-Ship website at

in. At the top of the screen, he/she clicks on
Shipping History or My Account, then on the
left under the “Refunds” box, clicks Request a

Retail Acceptance of Global Express Guaranteed
at Nonparticipating Sites
This process addresses the handling of GXG articles
presented at offices not participating in the GXG program
for the following scenarios:
1. A FedEx employee drops off a GXG article that was
retrieved from a FedEx collection box — Accept the
article and forward to the designated AMC or pro-
cessing and distribution center (P&DC) retail unit for
processing.
2. A customer wants to send an article using GXG —
Refer the customer to the nearest participating USPS
GXG site (list provided by your district retail manag-
er).
3. A customer presents a GXG article with an online la-
bel and prepaid postage — Accept the article and
forward it to the designated AMC or P&DC retail unit
for processing. Advise the customer that the receipt
will be mailed to him/her.
4. A USPS carrier drops off a GXG article found in a
USPS collection box — Accept the article and for-
ward it to the designated AMC or P&DC retail unit for
processing.
Once the GXG article reaches the designated AMC or retail
unit at the P&DC, it will be processed according to existing
GXG standard operating procedures (SOPs) for accepting
GXG shipments, and the customer’s receipt will be mailed
to him/her.

uspsgxg@esecurecare.net
The Call Center contacts the customer.
The customer is given the option to re-ship or receive
a refund for the refused shipment.
Customers requesting a refund must call 800-222-
1811.
No GXG refunds can be given at the retail office.
If the customer elects to re-ship, follow this SOP for reship-
ping a refused GXG shipment:
1. Once the shipment is received at the retail office,
contact the customer and verify that he/she is com-
ing in to correct the issue. (The customer should al-
ready have been contacted by the USPS Call Center.)
2. Greet the customer.

tion imprint (PVI) will be printed out, no money for
postage will be collected from the customer. Com-
plete the PS Form 3533 with the following informa-
tion:
Customer’s name and address.
Signature of Postal Service employee preparing
the PS Form 3533.
Amount of postage affixed. (For shipments origi-
nally mailed using Click-N-Ship service, use the
original postage amount on the AWB/SL.)

553) with Explanation: GXG Shipment Re-Mailed.
Attach the original postage affixed and the original
AWB/SL to the PS Form 3533.

and report the new and old number via e-mail to
GXG at uspsgxg@esecurecare.net.
Retail unit supervisor must certify and authorize
the PS Form 3533 with signature.
13. Weigh and rate the item on the scale. Print and attach
a new PVI label for the postage (the amount will be
offset to AIC 553* by the PS Form 3533). If postage
was originally paid by Click-N-Ship service, for IRT
and POS ONE equipment, select the Postage Affixed
key and enter the difference between the current rate
and the original Click-N-Ship amount. Ensure the cal-
culation is performed and the original Click-N-Ship
amount is displayed. Print and attach a new PVI label
for the original Click-N-Ship rate. Complete the
transaction.
*Note: An authorized PS Form 3533 is required sup-
port documentation for using AIC 553; this must be
kept on file with the PS Form 3849 and original AWB/
SL at the local retail unit.

tance should make their GXG cut-off time the same as the
office opening time; an additional day will automatically be
added to the service standards.
Global Express Guaranteed Network Updates
Postmaster/retail supervisors are responsible for setting
up the GXG cut-off time in POS ONE for their retail office.
The Distribution Networks Office (DNO) is responsible
for entering the GXG cut-off time into the facilities database
(FDB) for each GXG district office. The FDB is open two
times a year for updates to GXG cut-off times. The two sys-
tems are not currently linked.
Unlike Express Mail items, GXG items are inducted into
FedEx’s international products mailstream at the origin air-
port and may go on different transportation than the USPS-
FedEx shared services network. Therefore, GXG items may
have a different CET than Express Mail items.
Ensure the cut-off times in FDB are set at the latest time
possible to meet the CET based on existing transportation.
Offices that do not have transportation to the P&DC or
AMC by the CET for GXG service are to make their GXG
cut-off time the same as the office opening time. That way,
if a customer purchases GXG service any time that day,
POS ONE will automatically add a day to the delivery date.

GXG Frequently Asked Questions
GXG Basic Information
Q. What are the characteristics of GXG service?
A. GXG is the premium international shipping option
from the U.S. Postal Service
®
with international
transportation and delivery by FedEx Express. GXG
offers date-certain delivery within 1 to 3 business
days to more than 190 countries with a money-back
guarantee and a 10 percent online discount.
Q. Why is delivery service for GXG provided by a private
company?
A. More and more businesses and individuals need
date-certain, courier-level service. Foreign post offic-
es could not provide date-certain delivery in 1 to 3
days. Companies like FedEx have this capability. To
meet the needs of its customers, the Postal Service
decided to partner with an industry leader to offer our
GXG service.
FedEx provides the international transportation,
commercial Customs clearance, and delivery of
every shipment, while USPS provides retail locations,
shipping labels, and packaging to create the ship-
ment, payment options, and acceptance of the ship-
ment.
GXG Information for Retail Associates
Q. What Customs documentation is needed for GXG
shipments?
A. In some cases, PS Form 6182, Commercial Invoice,
is required based on the content and destination
country. POS ONE will state if a Commercial Invoice
is required for the shipment. (If POS ONE is not func-
tioning, refer to the destination country in Publication
141, Global Express Guaranteed Service Guide, to
determine if a Commercial Invoice is required.) When
in doubt, advise customers to use a Commercial In-
voice.
Q. Which holidays could affect the GXG delivery date?
A. U.S. holidays may affect the acceptance date if the
shipment is accepted after cut-off time and the fol-
lowing day is a holiday. The U.S. holiday would push
the acceptance day forward to the next U.S. working
day. The following are U.S. holidays:
Holidays in the destination country may affect the
delivery date since a shipment cannot be delivered
on a holiday. Destination holidays will be displayed
on POS ONE if the holiday affects the delivery or

complete list of holidays for GXG destination coun-
tries can be found in Publication 141, Global Express
Guaranteed Service Guide.
Q. What if a customer does not have correct postage on
the GXG Click-N-Ship label?
A. If the weight of the item is more than the weight used
when the Click-N-Ship label was purchased, don’t
return the package or document to the customer. Tell
the customer he/she will receive an e-mail that the
item is short paid, at which time he/she will need to
pay the balance with the credit card of record before
he/she can mail any other Click-N-Ship items.
Note: The 10 percent discount given when the online
label was printed will still be honored, and the cus-
tomer will not be charged for the difference if it is

GXG Information for Customers
Q. The GXG shipping label requires that a value be stat-
ed for each item. What should the customer put as
the value?
A. For documents, the customer should use the recon-
struction or replacement cost. For example, the value
of a check would be the cost to stop payment on the
check and issue a new one, not the dollar amount of
the check. For items whose value is not as easy to
determine, such as business correspondence, it is
still necessary to state a dollar amount, even if it is
just one dollar. (Exception: Document shipments to
Mexico cannot have a value listed.)
For nondocuments, the customer should state the
selling price or fair market value of each item.
Q. How does a customer obtain a postage refund if the
GXG shipment is delivered after the specified date?
A. Customers request a refund by calling 800-222-
1811. The claim is handled over the phone by our
alliance partner FedEx. Customers may have to com-
plete some paperwork, depending on the claim. A re-
fund check is generally issued in about 2 to 3 weeks.
Note: Money-back guarantee does not apply to
shipments to Post Office box addresses acceptable
for delivery; Customs delays; delivery was attempted
but could not be made; and other exclusions defined
in the Summary of Our Terms and Conditions section
of Publication 141, Global Express Guaranteed Ser-
vice Guide.
Q. Can customers track their GXG shipment?
A. Yes, customers can track, trace, and confirm delivery
of their packages on the Web at http://
www.usps.com/shipping/trackandconfirm.htm or by
calling the toll-free customer service number 800-
222-1811.
Q. When is GXG delivery status information available?
A. Delivery status will be available to customers on the
evening of the date of delivery or attempted delivery.
Q. How can customers take advantage of GXG discount
pricing?
A. Customers receive a 10 percent discount off pub-
lished prices by preparing and paying for the ship-
ment online through Click-N-Ship service or another
authorized PC Postage vendor. The discount is auto-
matically applied to each shipment prepared and
paid for online.

applies postage adjustment calculations, based on
verification samples, to all pieces mailed during the
mailing period. A mailing period is defined as a calen-
dar month for purposes of calculating adjustments in
eVS. USPS adjusts the total postage for the mailing
period if the total postage of the pieces sampled dur-
ing the mailing period results in an underpayment
greater than 1.5%. The mailer must pay postage for
any underpayments identified by USPS verification.
The mailer must maintain sufficient funds in the mail-
er’s postage account to cover any underpayments
discovered after acceptance of the mail.
b. Unmanifested Mailpiece Payment. The mailer is
responsible for postage payment of unmanifested
mailpieces. Unmanifested mailpieces are those
pieces for which the Postal Service has obtained
information from scanning operations but has not
received or successfully processed manifest files and
records corresponding to the pieces. The mailer
must pay postage for unmanifested pieces identified
by USPS. The mailer must maintain sufficient funds
in the mailer’s postage account to cover postage due
discovered after acceptance of the mail.
c. Mis-shipped DDU Mailpiece Payment. The mailer is
responsible for postage payment of destination
delivery unit (DDU) mis-shipped mailpieces. DDU
Mis-shipped mailpieces are DDU price pieces deliv-
ered to the incorrect Postal Service facility by the
mailer and transported by the Postal Service to the
correct facility. The mailer must pay postage for DDU
mis-shipped mailpieces identified by USPS. The
mailer must maintain sufficient funds in the mailer’s
postage account to cover postage due discovered
after acceptance of the mail.

circumstances of the individual mailer’s progress towards
transition.
These new markings are essential to fulfill our revenue
assurance and reporting requirements. Such markings will
help us validate that the pieces qualify for the claimed
commercial base and/or commercial plus prices.
Price markings must appear on pieces paid by any
means except permit imprint or Express Mail Corporate
Account. The respective markings must be printed by the

price, one of the following markings must be reflected:
“Commercial Plus Price,” “Commercial Plus Pricing,” or

DMM Revision: Updated U.S. Census Requirements When Sending Shipments Between or
to U.S. Territories, Possessions, and Freely Associated States
Effective November 2, 2009, the Postal Service™ is
revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal
Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM
®
) 608 to comply with
specific Foreign Trade Regulations issued by the U.S.
Census Bureau when sending shipments between or to
U.S. territories, possessions, and Freely Associated States.
A Federal Register final rule published September 4,
2009 (74 FR 45763–45765) details the new Foreign Trade
Regulations mandating that electronic export information
(EEI) be filed when goods in a shipment are valued at more
than $2,500 or require an export license under U.S. law.
You can read the entire Federal Register article on Postal
Explorer
®
at http://pe.usps.com.
Subject to certain exceptions, and also effective
November 2, 2009, customers mailing goods between or to
U.S. territories, possessions, and Freely Associated States
are responsible for providing an Exemption and Exclusion
Legend, Proof of Filing Citation (PFC), or Automated Export
System (AES) Downtime Citation on the applicable
Customs declaration form. Federal Trade Regulations
establish civil and criminal penalties for customers who fail
to electronically file their export information when required,
or to comply with the Foreign Trade Regulations in any
other way. Goods mailed to APO/FPO/DPO (DMM 703.2)
addresses are not subject to this standard.
Additional information concerning electronic filing,
Exemption and Exclusion Legends, PFCs, AES Downtime
Citations, and proper placement of this information on
required Customs declarations forms are provided as fol-
lows:
Requirements for Sending Shipments between or
to U.S. Territories, Possessions, and Freely
Associated States
Subject to exemptions and exclusions, customers mail-
ing certain shipments containing goods between the
United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, or
from the United States to the Freely Associated States
(Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of
Micronesia, and Republic of Palau), are responsible for fil-
ing EEI with the Census Bureau and for providing a PFC or
AES Downtime Citation. In addition, in circumstances
where a Customs declaration form is used today on certain
parcels, an Exemption or Exclusion Legend should appear,
provided a PFC or AES Downtime Citation is not applica-
ble. Goods mailed to APO/FPO/DPO addresses are not
subject to these standards.
Electronic Export Information Filing and Proof of
Filing Citation
The Census Bureau’s requirements for electronic filing
of export information apply to certain shipments:
1. From the United States to Puerto Rico or the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
2. From Puerto Rico to the United States or U.S. Virgin
Islands.
3. From any U.S. location to the Freely Associated
States.
Subject to exemptions and exclusions, electronic filing
of export information and a PFC are required when:
1. Any type of goods in the package (per Schedule B
Export Codes at http://www.census.gov/foreign-
trade/schedules/b) is valued at more than $2,500.
2. The package requires an export license, if sent to one
of the Freely Associated States. To determine if an
export license is required, go to http://www.ex-
port.gov/regulation/index.asp or call 800-USA-
TRAD(E).
In these circumstances, it is the mailer’s responsibility to
electronically file export information before mailing; a paper
Shipper’s Export Declaration (SED) is no longer accepted.
EEI is filed through the U.S. Census Bureau’s AES or
AESDirect website utilizing the following steps:
Log on to www.aesdirect.gov and follow the
instructions for registering and completing the AES
Certification Quiz.
The “Port of Export” code for shipping through the
Postal Service is “8000.”
The “Mode of Transport” is “Mail.”
The carrier should be left as “SCAC/IATA,” and the
conveyance name fields should remain blank.
After the mailer has successfully filed the EEI, the
mailer will be provided with an alphanumeric Internal
Transaction Number (ITN) as confirmation. When
mailing, the PFC will consist of the letters “AES” fol-
lowed by the ITN: for example, “AES
X20080930987654.”
Note: If the AES system is down, call 800-549-0595,
option 1.

Policies, Procedures, and Forms Updates
AES Downtime Citation
If export information filing is required but AES or
AESDirect is unavailable, the goods may be shipped but
the mailer is responsible for providing the appropriate AES
Downtime Citation. This citation includes the word
“AESDOWN,” the mailer’s AES filer identification number,
and the date: for example, “AESDOWN 123456789 09/30/
2009.”
Exemption and Exclusion Legends
For items that bear a Customs declaration form as
defined in Domestic Mail Manual 608.2.4, and when a PFC
or an export license is not required, customers should enter
one of following exemption codes on the Customs declara-
tion form:
Regardless of value, for all goods shipped to, from, or
between the following U.S. Territories, use
“NOEEI 30.2(d)(2)”:
American Samoa.
Guam Island.
Northern Mariana Islands.
For items destined to the Freely Associated States,
customers may apply “NOEEI 30.37(a)” if the value of
each class of goods is $2,500 or less.
Exemption or Exclusion Legends cannot be applied to
packages that require an export license. In such cases,
customers mailing goods are responsible for filing, or
attempting to file, EEI through the AES website, and apply-
ing a PFC or AES Downtime Citation to the Customs dec-
laration form.
Entering Required PFC, AES Downtime Citation
Placement, or Exemption and Exclusion Legend
When required, customers should legibly write the PFC,
AES Downtime Citation, or Exemption and Exclusion
Legend as follows when a Customs declaration form is
used on a package under DMM 608.2.4:
On PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and
Dispatch Note — CP72 (large white form), customers
should write one Exemption or Exclusion Legend,
PFC, or AES Downtime Citation in Block 11.
On older versions of PS Form 2976-A printed prior to
January 2009, customers should write one
Exemption or Exclusion Legend, PFC, or AES
Downtime Citation at the top of the form or in any
clear space. Avoid writing over the barcode on the
form.
If no Customs declaration form is required (e.g.,
items sent between the United States, Puerto Rico,
and the U.S. Virgin Islands), no other action for
recording the Exemption or Exclusion Legend, PFC,
or AES Downtime Citation on the package is
required.
Responding to Customer Questions
Customers needing further assistance with AES filing
requirements should contact the U.S. Census Bureau on its
toll-free hotline at 800-549-0595:
Option 1 — AES Assistance.
Option 2 — Commodity Classification Assistance.
Option 3 — Regulatory Assistance.
The Commerce Department’s, export Administration
Regulations, contain all the required processes, and
additionally provide explanations in part 740 and in
Supplement 1, and can be found on their website at http://

Trade Regulations in any other way. Refer to IMM 520 for
additional standards about the Census Bureau’s require-
ments.
2.5.1 Mandatory Electronic Filing — U.S.
Territories, Possessions, and Freely
Associated States
Under the authority of 13 U.S.C. Chapter 9, as amended by
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 2002,
P.L. 107-228, U.S. Census Bureau regulations require elec-
tronic filing of export information through the U.S. Census
Bureau’s Automated Export System (AES) or AESDirect
website for certain shipments of goods. Electronic filing of
export information is required when any of the following
applies, subject to certain exemptions and exclusions (see
DMM 608.2.5.4):
a. The item requires an export license under U.S. law
when sent to the Freely Associated States. See
DMM 608.2.5.5 and DMM 608.2.5.6.
b. One or more classes of goods (per Schedule B
Export Codes at www.census.gov/foreign-trade/
schedules/b) within the item is valued at more than
$2,500, and the item is mailed as follows:
1. From Puerto Rico to the United States or U.S.
Virgin Islands.
2. From the United States to Puerto Rico or the U.S.
Virgin Islands.
3. From the United States, Puerto Rico, or the U.S.
Virgin Islands to the Freely Associated States.
2.5.2 Value Criterion
Following are three examples to illustrate the value criterion
defined in 2.5.1:
a. A package contains one mechanically operated
watch (Schedule B item # 9101.11.0000) valued at
$2600. The total value of goods to be mailed is
$2600, and the value of all items within the same
Schedule B number is over $2500. Consequently,
electronic filing and a Proof of Filing Citation (PFC)
would be required (unless an exemption or exclusion
applies).
b. A package contains one mechanically operated
watch (Schedule B item # 9101.11.0000) valued at
$2400, and one electronically operated watch
(Schedule B item# 9101.91.0000) valued at $2400.
The total value of goods to be mailed is $4800,
but no group of items within the same Schedule B
number is valued over $2500. Consequently, elec-
tronic filing and a PFC would not be required, be-
cause the mechanical watch and electronic watch
are in different Schedule B groups,
c. A package contains two mechanically operated
watches (Schedule B item # 9101.11.0000) one
valued at $1400 and one valued at $1500. The total
value of goods to be mailed is $2900, and the value
of all items within the same Schedule B number
is over $2500. Consequently, electronic filing and a
PFC would be required, unless an exemption or
exclusion applies.
2.5.3 How to File Electronic Export Information
and Obtain a Proof of Filing Citation
For additional information on electronic filing, call the U.S.
Census Bureau’s toll-free information hotline at 800-549-
0595, option #3. To file electronic export information (EEI)
through AESDirect and obtain a PFC, customers should
use the following steps:
a. Go to www.aesdirect.gov.
b. Register for an AESDirect account or log into your
existing account.
c. Follow the instructions for the AES Certification Quiz.
d. The “Port of Export” code for shipping through the
Postal Service is “8000.”
e. The “Mode of Transport” is “Mail.”
f. Leave the carrier as “SCAC/IATA” and the convey-
ance name fields blank.
g. After successfully filing electronic export information,
AESDirect will provide an alphanumeric Internal
Transaction Number (ITN) as confirmation. The PFC
consists of the letters “AES” followed by the ITN: for
example, “AES X20080930987654.”
2.5.4 AES Downtime Citation
If electronic information filing is required but AES or
AESDirect is unavailable, the goods may be shipped, but
the customer is responsible for providing the appropriate
AES Downtime Citation instead of a PFC. This citation
includes the word “AESDOWN,” the customer’s AES filer
identification number, and the date: for example,
“AESDOWN 123456789 09/30/2009.”
2.5.5 Exclusion and Exemption Legends
In many circumstances, EEI filing and a PFC may not be
required. In these circumstances, and only when a
Customs declaration form is required under 608.2.4, cus-
tomers are responsible for presenting an applicable
Exemption or Exclusion Legend on the Customs declara-
tion form upon mailing. Customers may forgo this require-
ment if no Customs declaration form is required. When a
Customs declaration form is used, customers should enter
the applicable Exemption or Exclusion Legend on the Cus-
toms declaration form. Customers must only enter one
Exemption or Exclusion Legend per addressed mailpiece.
When multiple Exemption or Exclusion Legends may apply,
30
postal bulletin 22269 (10-8-09)
Policies, Procedures, and Forms Updates
the mailer may select any one that applies. For more infor-
mation on these and other exemptions and exclusions,
customers should consult Appendix C of the Foreign Trade
Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Part 30.
The following is a list of the most commonly applicable
Exemption or Exclusion Legends for items mailed to, from,
or between destinations under 608.2.
a. Regardless of value, for all goods shipped to, from, or
between the following U.S. Territories, use
“NOEEI 30.2(d)(2)”:
1. American Samoa.
2. Guam Island.
3. Northern Mariana Islands.
b. For items destined to the Freely Associated States
listed in DMM 608.2.2, customers may apply
“NOEEI 30.37(a)” if the value of each class of goods
is $2,500 or less, provided an export license is not re-
quired (see 608.2.5.7 and 608.2.5.8).
2.5.6 Placement of PFC, AES Downtime Citation
Placement, or Exemption and Exclusion
Legend
If no Customs declaration form is required (e.g., items sent
between the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin
Islands), no other action for recording the PFC or AES
Downtime Citation on the package is required. However,
when a shipment requires a PFC, or AES Downtime
Citation, or Exemption and Exclusion Legend, and a
PS Form 2976-A is used under DMM 608.2.4, it is the cus-
tomer’s responsibility to legibly write the PFC, AES
Downtime Citation, or Exemption or Exclusion Legend as
follows:
a. On PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and
Dispatch Note — CP72 (large white form), customers
should write one PFC, AES Downtime Citation, or
Exemption or Exclusion Legend in Block 11.
b. On older versions of PS Form 2976-A printed prior to
January 2009, customers should write one PFC, AES
Downtime Citation, or Exemption or Exclusion
Legend at the top of the form or in any clear space.
Avoid writing over the barcode on the form.
2.5.7 Additional Standards for the Freely
Associated States
The Freely Associated States listed in DMM 608.2.2 are for-
eign destinations for the purposes of the Foreign Trade
Regulations and other laws and regulations governing
imports and exports. As such, certain goods shipped to
these destinations from the United States, Puerto Rico, the
U.S. Virgin Islands, or other U.S. territories may require an
export license. To determine if an export license is required,
go to http://www.export.gov/regulation/index.asp or call 1-
800-USA-TRAD(E) (1-800-872-8723).
2.5.8 When an Export License Is Required
When an export license is required under 608.2.5.7, a
PS Form 2976-A is always required. The electronically gen-
erated License Number must appear in Block 13, and a
PFC or AES Downtime Citation must appear in Block 11 of
the Customs declaration form. See IMM 520 and 530 for
complete requirements. In addition, it is the mailer’s
responsibility to comply with the U.S. Census Bureau’s
requirements for filing EEI, as described in DMM 608.2.5.1
and 608.2.5.2. A PFC or AES Downtime Citation should
appear on the Customs declaration form as described in
DMM 608.2.5.6.

Verifying U.S. Postal Service Money Orders
Follow these steps to cash a Postal Service™ money
order:
1. Check that the amount does not exceed the legal
limit: $1,000 for domestic, and $700 for international
postal money orders.
2. Check that the proper security features are present:
When held to the light, a watermark of Benjamin
Franklin is repeated from top to bottom on the left
side.
When held to the light, a dark line (security thread)
runs from top to bottom with the word “USPS”
repeated.
There should be no discoloration around the dollar
amounts, which might indicate the amounts were
changes.
These appear in Postal Service Notice 299, U.S.
Postal Money Order Reference Card, or online at
http://www.usps.com/missingmoneyorders/
security.htm.
3. If the money order seems suspicious, call the U.S.
Postal Service Money Order Verification System at
866-459-7822.
Please provide this information to local banks and retail-
ers, as they also receive Postal Service money orders for
cashing.

IMM Revision: Document Items Exempted From Customs Declarations Forms — Update
Effective November 2, 2009, the Postal Service™ is
revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal
Service, International Mail Manual (IMM
®
) to add a new
section 123.63 to provide clarity and specific examples of
“documents” as they relate to the selection of an appropri-
ate customs declaration form under IMM Exhibit 123.61.
We are redesignating current section 123.63 as 123.64,
and we are also cross-referencing 123.63 as appropriate in
Exhibit 123.61.
Previously, in the article titled “IMM Revision: Customs
Label Requirements for International Mail Items” in Postal
Bulletin 22262 (7-2-09, page 5), we revised IMM
Exhibit 123.61 to include the word “documents” in the
revised definitions in the “Type of Items” column. This revi-
sion is intended to provide additional clarity by providing
specific examples of “documents,” which include the
following:
a. Audit and business records.
b. Personal correspondence.
c. Circulars.
d. Pamphlets.
e. Advertisements.
f. Written instruments not intended to be resold.
g. Money orders, checks, and similar items that cannot
be negotiated or converted into cash without forgery.
In addition, this revision clarifies that “documents,” as
they relate to shipments exempt from customs declaration
forms, include only printed documents and not electronic
storage media or devices such as CDs, DVDs, or flash
drives (even though such devices can contain electronic
files that can be printed).
Articles such as artwork, collector or antique document
items, books, periodicals, printed music, printed educa-
tional or test material, player piano rolls, engineering draw-
ings, blueprints, film, negatives, x-rays, separation
negatives, photographs, CDs, DVDs, flash drives, video
and cassette tapes, and other electronic storage media are
considered merchandise. Consequently, these items
require a customs declaration form, and the sender must
declare a value for them.
We will incorporate these revisions into the next printed
version of the IMM and into the monthly update of the
online IMM, which is available via Postal Explorer

IMM Revision: Revised PS Form 2976, Customs Declaration CN 22 — Sender’s Declaration
Effective November 2, 2009, the Postal Service™ is
revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal
Service, International Mail Manual (IMM
®
) part 123 to
reflect revisions to PS Form 2976, Customs Declaration
CN 22 — Sender’s Declaration (green label). The newly
revised PS Form 2976 has an edition date of September
2009. This is the first revision of PS Form 2976 since
January 2004. Images of the Sender’s Instructions and
Copy 3 of the revised form appear with the revision text in
this article.
Summary of Changes
The following is a summary of the changes to
PS Form 2976:
We added a customer “tear off” sheet to improve
ease of use.
We added a Privacy Act Statement.
We added an Exemption/Exclusion Legend Block to
comply with U.S. Census Bureau Foreign Trade
Regulations (FTR).
We added a “scan copy,” which will enable the Postal
Service to meet future Customs regulations for elec-
tronic data capture.
We provided a “customer copy” of mailing
information.
Use of Old and Revised Customs Forms
The revised PS Form 2976 has an edition date of
September 2009. We encourage mailers to begin using the
revised form immediately upon receipt. We ask that post-
masters tell customers about the revised form and encour-
age them to comply with these changes as soon as
possible. For ease of use, mailers also have the option of
completing and printing Customs declarations electroni-
cally at https://webapps.usps.com/customsforms.

In order to efficiently process inquiries and claims
involving GXG shipments, we are making the following
changes to IMM 212.46 and 921.5:
a. In IMM 212.46, we specify that, after an indemnity
claim has been initiated, the sender must submit all
supporting documentation within 9 months of the
mailing date.
b. In IMM 212.46, we specify that the original receipt of
the Global Express Guaranteed Air Waybill/Shipping
Invoice may be required when filing an indemnity
claim. (Previously, we specified that it must be
included.)
c. In IMM 921.51, we specify that mailers who wish to
initiate an inquiry regarding nondelivery of GXG ship-
ments should refer to IMM 212.46, which directs
them to call 800-222-1811. (Previously, we stated
that the Postal Service would initiate an inquiry with
the destination postal administration.)

IMM Revision: Updated U.S. Census Requirements When Sending Items to Cuba
Effective November 2, 2009, the Postal Service™ is
revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal
Service, International Mail Manual (IMM
®
) section 123.712
and part 527 to clarify mailers’ responsibilities when send-
ing consumer communications device (CCD) items to
Cuba.
Consistent with the article titled “IMM Revision:
Updated Standards for Mailing Items to Cuba” in Postal
Bulletin 22268 (9-24-09, pages 14–19), which announced
the authorization to send CCD items to Cuba, we are fur-
ther revising the IMM to include standards for these items
when they do not qualify as a gift parcel and therefore
require a mandatory electronic filing under IMM 524.21c.
Consequently, we are revising IMM 123.712e to codify that
items sent to Cuba may require a Proof of Filing Citation
(PFC) or AES Downtime Citation.
In addition, we are revising IMM 527 to codify the follow-
ing procedures for customers who send CCD items to
Cuba:
a. Customers who use the September 2009 edition of
PS Form 2976, Customs Declaration CN22 —
Sender’s Declaration (green label), should, in block 7
of the form, write one PFC or AES Downtime Citation
and also completely obliterate the check boxes and
text referring to NOEEI § 30.37(a) and NOEEI
§ 30.37(h).
b. Customers who use older editions of PS Form 2976
should write one PFC or AES Downtime Citation in
the margin on the green portion of the form.
The actual text for these revisions appear in this Postal
Bulletin issue in the article titled “IMM Revision: Updated
U.S. Census Requirements When Sending an International
Shipment” (see below).

IMM Revision: Updated U. S. Census Requirements When Sending an International Shipment
Effective November 2, 2009, the Postal Service™ is
revising Mailing Standards of the United States Postal
Service, International Mail Manual (IMM
®
) section 123.7
and subchapter 520 to comply with specific Foreign Trade
Regulations issued by the U.S. Census Bureau for items
sent internationally.
A final rule published in the Federal Register
(September 4, 2009, 74 FR 45760–45763) details the new
Foreign Trade Regulations mandating that Electronic
Export Information (EEI) be filed when goods in an interna-
tional shipment are valued at more than $2,500 or require
an export license under U.S. law. The entire Federal
Register notice is available on Postal Explorer
®
at http://
pe.usps.com; click on Federal Register Notices, and then
scroll down to the appropriate date and article.
Subject to certain exceptions, and also effective
November 2, 2009, customers are responsible for provid-
ing an Exemption and Exclusion Legend, Proof of Filing
Citation (PFC), or AES Downtime Citation on the customs
declaration form. The Foreign Trade Regulations establish
civil and criminal penalties for customers who fail to elec-
tronically file their export information when required or fail
to comply with the Foreign Trade Regulations in any other
way. Not subject to this standard are goods mailed to APO/
FPO/DPO addresses — see Mailing Standards of the
United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM
®
) 703.2.
In addition, items mailed as gift parcels or humanitarian
donations to countries designated as “State Sponsors of
Terrorism” must comply with the conditions for License
Exception “GFT,” or customers may be required to obtain
an export license from the U.S. Department of Commerce,
Bureau of Industry and Security. The definitions and limita-
tions on such gift parcels and humanitarian donations are
set forth in the Commerce Department’s Export
Administration Regulations. The Postal Service standards
for endorsing qualifying items as gift parcels or humanitar-
ian donations are consistent with the Export Administration
Regulations and are described here.
Additional information concerning electronic filing,
items sent as gift parcels or humanitarian donations,
Exemption and Exclusion Legends, PFCs, AES Downtime
Citations, and proper placement of this information on
required customs declarations forms are provided in the
following step-by-step processes.
Electronic Export Information Filing and Proof of
Filing Citation
Electronic filing of export information and a PFC are
required in the following circumstances:
a. When any type of goods contained in a shipment (per
Schedule B Export Codes at www.census.gov/
foreign-trade/schedules/b) is valued at more than
$2,500.
postal bulletin 22269 (10-8-09)
Policies, Procedures and Forms Updates
63
b. When a package requires an export license. To deter-
mine if an export license is required, go to www.ex-
port.gov/regulation/index.asp or call 800-872-8723
(800-USA-TRADE).
c. When a package is shipped to certain countries des-
ignated as State Sponsors of Terrorism and does not
qualify as a “gift parcel or humanitarian donation.” As
of October 5, 2009, the following countries are des-
ignated as “State Sponsors of Terrorism”:
1. Cuba.
2. Iran.
3. People’s Democratic Republic of Korea
(NorthKorea).
4. Sudan.
5. Syrian Arab Republic (Syria).
When any of these three circumstances apply, it is the
mailer’s responsibility to electronically file export informa-
tion before mailing; a paper Shipper’s Export Declaration
(SED) is no longer accepted. The mailer can file electronic
export information (EEI) through the U.S. Census Bureau’s
Automated Export System (AES) or AESDirect website
using the following steps:
1. Go to www.aesdirect.gov.
2. Register for an AESDirect account or log into your
existing account.
3. Follow the instructions for the AES Certification Quiz.
4. The “Port of Export” code for shipping through the
Postal Service is “8000.”
5. The “Mode of Transport” is “Mail.”
6. Leave the carrier as “SCAC/IATA,” and leave the con-
veyance name fields blank.
7. After successfully filing electronic export information,
AESDirect will provide an alphanumeric Internal
Transaction Number (ITN) as confirmation. The PFC
consists of the letters “AES” followed by the ITN: for
example, “AES X20080930987654.”
Note: If the AES system is down, call the U.S. Census
Bureau’s toll-free information hotline at 800-549-0595,
option 1. For additional information on electronic filing, use
option 3.
AES Downtime Citation
If EEI filing is required but AES or AESDirect is unavail-
able, the mailer may ship the goods but is responsible for
providing the appropriate AES Downtime Citation instead
of a PFC. This citation includes the word “AESDOWN,” the
mailer’s AES filer identification number, and the date: for
example, “AESDOWN 123456789 09/30/2009.”
Exemption and Exclusion Legends
If no class of goods within the package is valued at more
than $2,500 and an export license is not required, the cus-
tomer should enter the exemption code “NOEEI 30.37(a)”
on the customs declaration form, unless the goods are
being shipped to a country designated as a “State Sponsor
of Terrorism.” If one or more classes of goods within the
package are valued at more than $2,500, another exemp-
tion code might apply, such as “NOEEI 30.36” (goods
shipped to Canada, subject to certain exceptions).
Mailers cannot apply Exemption and Exclusion Legends
to packages that require an export license. In such cases,
customers are responsible for filing, or attempting to file,
EEI through the AESDirect website and applying a PFC or
AES Downtime Citation to the customs declaration form.
For gift parcels and humanitarian donations mailed to
certain countries designated as “State Sponsors of
Terrorism,” customers may use exemption code “NOEEI
30.37(h).” In addition, the mailer must endorse the item with
the marking “GIFT — Export License Not Required” on the
addressee side of the package. The mailer must also write
the symbol “GFT” in the same block as the Exemption and
Exclusion Legend on the applicable required customs dec-
laration, as described below.
Entering Required PFC, AES Downtime Citation,
or Exemption and Exclusion Legend
Mailers can mark the PFC, AES Downtime Citation, or
Exemption and Exclusion Legend on the applicable cus-
toms declaration form as follows:
a. On the May 2009 and January 2009 editions of
PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch
Note — CP 72 (large white form), customers should
write one PFC, AES Downtime Citation, or applicable
Exemption and Exclusion Legend in block 11.
b. On editions of PS Form 2976-A printed before Janu-
ary 2009, customers should write one PFC, AES
Downtime Citation, or applicable Exemption and
Exclusion Legend at the top of the form or in any
clear space. Avoid writing over the barcode on the
form.
c. On the September 2009 edition of PS Form 2976,
Customs Declaration CN22 — Sender’s Declaration
(green label), customers should check “NOEEI §
30.37(a)” or “NOEEI § 30.37(h)” in block 7 of the form,
depending on the applicable Exemption and
Exclusion Legend. For CCD items sent to Cuba that
require electronic filing, in block 7 of the form,
customers should write one PFC or AES Downtime
Citation and also completely obliterate the check
boxes and text referring to NOEEI § 30.37(a) and
NOEEI § 30.37(h).
64
postal bulletin 22269 (10-8-09)
Policies, Procedures and Forms Updates
d. On editions of PS Form 2976 printed before
September 2009, customers should write one appli-
cable Exemption and Exclusion Legend (“30.37(a)”
or “30.37(h)”) in the margin on the green portion of
the form. For CCD items sent to Cuba that require
electronic filing (see the Individual Country Listing for
Cuba), customers should write one PFC or AES
Downtime Citation in the margin on the green portion
of the form.
e. On Label 11FGG1, Global Express Guaranteed
International Air Waybill (Mailing Label), printed
bedfore August 2008, customers should write
“NOEEI 30.37(a)” next to the sender’s signature. Cur-
rent versions of Label 11FGG1 have this exemption
legend included on the mailing label.
Note: These standards also apply to mailers who produce
privately printed customs declaration forms under IMM
123.3.

523 Mailpieces Sent to APOs, FPOs, and DPOs
Goods mailed to APO/FPO/DPO addresses are not subject
to the Foreign Trade Regulations. Accordingly, customers
are not required to file electronic export information (EEI)
via the U.S. Census Bureau’s Automated Export System
(AES) or AESDirect Web site for such mailings, and they do
not need to present a Proof of Filing Citation, AES Down-
time Citation, or Exemption and Exclusion Legend.
524 Proof of Filing Citation (PFC)
524.1 General
Under the authority of 13 U.S.C. Chapter 9, as amended by
the Foreign Relations Authorization Act of 2002,
P.L. 107-228, U.S. Census Bureau regulations require elec-
tronic filing of export information through the Census
Bureau’s Automated Export System (AES) or AESDirect
Web site for certain outbound international shipments of
goods. Before mailing, customers subject to this filing
requirement are responsible for presenting a Proof of Filing
Citation (PFC) or AES Downtime Citation as evidence of
compliance.
The Census Bureau’s regulations mandate that electronic
export information be filed when any type of goods con-
tained in a shipment (per Schedule B Export Codes at
www.census.gov/foreign-trade/schedules/b) is valued at
more than $2,500, requires an export license under U.S.
law, or is being sent to certain countries designated as
“State Sponsors of Terrorism,” subject to certain excep-
tions. Following are three examples to illustrate the value
criterion:
a. Example 1: An insured Priority Mail International
package contains one mechanically operated watch
(Schedule B item number 9101.11.0000) valued at
$2,600. The total value of goods to be mailed is
$2,600, and the value of all items within the same
Schedule B number is more than $2,500. Conse-
quently, electronic filing and a PFC would be required
(unless an exemption or exclusion applies).
b. Example 2: An insured Priority Mail International
package contains one mechanically operated watch
(Schedule B item number 9101.11.0000) valued at
$2,400, and one electronically operated watch
(Schedule B item number 9101.91.0000) valued at
$2,400. The total value of goods to be mailed is
$4,800, but no group of items within the same
Schedule B number is valued at more than $2,500.
Consequently, electronic filing and a PFC would not
be required because the mechanical watch and elec-
tronic watch are in different Schedule B groups.
c. Example 3: An insured Priority Mail International
package contains two mechanically operated watch-
es (Schedule B item number 9101.11.0000), one val-
ued at $1,400 and one valued at $1,500. The total
value of goods to be mailed is $2,900, and the value
of all items within the same Schedule B number is
more than $2,500. Consequently, electronic filing and
a PFC would be required (unless an exemption or ex-
clusion applies).
524.2 Filing Requirements
524.21 Mandatory Filing
Electronic filing of export information is required when any
of the following applies:
a. One or more classes of goods (per Schedule B
Export Codes at www.census.gov/foreign-trade/
schedules/b) within the item are valued at more than
$2,500, unless the shipment falls under an exemption
or exclusion. See 524.1.
b. The item requires an export license under U.S. law.
c. The shipment is destined to a designated “State
Sponsor of Terrorism” country (per Country Group
E:1 in the Export Administration Regulations,
15 C.F.R. Part 740, Supplement No. 1) and the ship-
ment does not qualify as a “gift parcel or humanitari-
an donation” as defined by 15 C.F.R. § 740.12.
Note: As of October 5, 2009, the following countries
are designated as “State Sponsors of Terrorism”:
a. Cuba.
b. Iran.
c. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea
(North Korea).
d. Sudan.
e. The Syrian Arab Republic (Syria).
524.22 How to File Electronic Export Information and
Obtain a Proof of Filing Citation
To file electronic export information through AESDirect and
obtain a PFC, customers should use the following steps:
1. Go to www.aesdirect.gov.
2. Register for an AESDirect account or log into your
existing account.
3. Follow the instructions for the AES Certification Quiz.
4. The “Port of Export” code for shipping through the
Postal Service is “8000.”
66
postal bulletin 22269 (10-8-09)
Policies, Procedures and Forms Updates
5. The “Mode of Transport” is “Mail.”
6. Leave the carrier as “SCAC/IATA,” and leave the con-
veyance name fields blank.
7. After successfully filing electronic export information,
AESDirect will provide an alphanumeric Internal
Transaction Number (ITN) as confirmation. The PFC
consists of the letters “AES” followed by the ITN: for
example, “AES X20080930987654.”
Note: If the AES system is down, call the U.S. Census
Bureau’s toll-free information hotline at 800-549-0595,
option 1. For additional information on electronic filing, use
option 3.
525 AES Downtime Citation
If electronic export information filing is required but AES or
AESDirect is unavailable, the mailer may ship the goods but
is responsible for providing the appropriate AES Downtime
Citation instead of a PFC. This citation includes the word
“AESDOWN,” the mailer’s AES filer identification number,
and the date: for example, “AESDOWN 123456789 09/30/
2009.”
526 Exemption and Exclusion Legend
526.1 General
In many circumstances, electronic export information filing
and a PFC may not be required when mailing goods inter-
nationally. In these circumstances, customers are directed
to apply an applicable Exemption and Exclusion Legend on
the customs declaration form upon mailing. The following
conditions apply:
a. A mailer may enter one Exemption and Exclusion
Legend per addressed mailpiece. When multiple ex-
emptions may apply, the mailer may select any one
that applies.
b. A mailer cannot apply Exemption and Exclusion Leg-
ends to shipments that require an export license.
526.2 When Applicable
Customers with shipments not meeting the mandatory fil-
ing requirements under 524.21 may apply an Exemption
and Exclusion Legend such as the following on each cus-
toms declaration form:
a. “NOEEI 30.37(a)” for shipments when the value of
each class of goods is $2,500 or less. Mailers cannot
apply this exemption to shipments that require an ex-
port license or to shipments to countries designated
as “State Sponsors of Terrorism.”
b. “NOEEI 30.36” for shipments to Canada that do not
require an export license.
c. “NOEEI 30.37(h)” for shipments of gift parcels and
humanitarian donations as defined in 15 C.F.R. §
740.12. This exemption may apply to qualifying ship-
ments to countries designated as “State Sponsors of
Terrorism” identified in 524.21(c). In addition, the
mailer must endorse the item with the marking “GIFT
— Export License Not Required” on the addressee
side of the package. The mailer must also write the
symbol “GFT” in the same block as the Exemption
and Exclusion Legend on the applicable required
customs declaration, as described in 527.
Note: For more information and a complete listing of these
and other Exemption and Exclusion Legends, see Appen-
dix C of the Foreign Trade Regulations, 15 C.F.R. Part 30.
527 Placement of PFC, AES Downtime Citation, or
Exemption and Exclusion Legend
When shipments require a PFC, AES Downtime Citation, or
Exemption and Exclusion Legend, it is the customer’s
responsibility to legibly write the PFC, AES Downtime Cita-
tion, or Exemption and Exclusion Legend on the applicable
customs declaration form as follows:
a. On the May 2009 and January 2009 editions of PS
Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch
Note — CP 72 (large white form), customers should
write one PFC, AES Downtime Citation, or applicable
Exemption and Exclusion Legend in block 11.
b. On editions of PS Form 2976-A printed before Janu-
ary 2009, customers should write one PFC, AES
Downtime Citation, or applicable Exemption and Ex-
clusion Legend at the top of the form or in any clear
space. Avoid writing over the barcode on the form.
c. On the September 2009 edition of PS Form 2976,
Customs Declaration CN22 — Sender’s Declaration
(green label), except for consumer communications
devices, computers, and software (CCD) items sent
to Cuba (see the Individual Country Listing for Cuba),
customers should check “NOEEI §30.37(a)” or
“NOEEI §30.37(h)” in block 7 of the form, depending
on the applicable Exemption and Exclusion Legend.
For CCD items sent to Cuba that require electronic
filing, in block 7 of the form, customers should write
one PFC or AES Downtime Citation and also com-
pletely obliterate the check boxes and text referring
to NOEEI § 30.37(a) and NOEEI § 30.37(h).
d. On editions of PS Form 2976 printed before Septem-
ber 2009, customers should write one applicable Ex-
emption and Exclusion Legend (“30.37(a)” or
“30.37(h)”) in the margin on the green portion of the
form. For CCD items sent to Cuba that require elec-
tronic filing (see the Individual Country Listing for Cu-
ba), customers should write one PFC or AES
Downtime Citation in the margin on the green portion
of the form.

e. On editions of Label 11FGG1, Global Express Guar-
anteed International Air Waybill (Mailing Label), print-
ed before August 2008, customers should write
“NOEEI 30.37(a)” next to the sender’s signature. Cur-
rent versions of Label 11FGG1 have this exemption
legend included on the mailing label.
Note: These standards also apply to mailers who produce
privately printed customs declaration forms under 123.3.

POM Revision: Information-Based Indicia Postage Paid Labels Update
Effective October 8, 2009, the Postal Service™ is revis-
ing the Postal Operations Manual (POM) to include a new
section, 136.6, to cover information-based indicia (IBI)
postage paid labels. We are adding this new section to the
POM to aid our employees in identifying counterfeit IBI
labels and obvious weight discrepancies in IBI postage
paid mailpieces.

136 Methods of Payment
*****
[Add new 136.6 to read as follows:]
136.6 Information-based Indicia Postage Paid Labels
Information-based indicia (IBI) and other online customer
postage payment options have unique revenue assurance
issues that all acceptance and collection employees
should be familiar with. One example is a label that appears
to have been photocopied or manipulated. All IBI mailing
labels are designed to be used in their entirety without the
need for any modification. Labels that appear modified are
candidates for fraud. Modifications include handwritten
changes, obvious deliberate damage to the IBI, and any
other change to the original print. All label barcode num-
bers are unique; no two are identical. The same barcode
number appearing on more than one label indicates a pho-
tocopied label and is considered a counterfeit label. Any
item identified as bearing a photocopied or duplicated label
should be refused at the retail window or during carrier
pickup at a residence or business. Local management
should be advised when a photocopied or duplicate label
has been identified. Local management may contact the
Postal Inspection Service if additional guidance is needed.
Another revenue assurance issue to watch for with mail-
pieces bearing IBI postage is an obvious weight discrep-
ancy. The label information may indicate the weight and
amount of postage paid. If the weight listed on the label is
obviously incorrect, the employee handling the mailpiece
should make every effort to weigh that item on a scale if
one is available. If the weight on the IBI label is incorrect,
proper postage was not paid. That mailpiece is considered
shortpaid and should be handled according to the appro-
priate shortpaid procedure for that class of mail.
Some IBI mailpieces do not show the actual postage
amount paid. This is sometimes referred to as “stealth
postage” or “nondenominated” IBI. In these cases the
postage may not be visible, but the weight, mail class, and
origin ZIP code is in text format on the label, which allows
identification of a weight discrepancy. If a mailpiece is
found with no postage paid, the mailpiece should be
marked “returned for postage” and returned to the sender.

Handbook F-101 Revision: Handling Negative Balance Customer Trust Accounts
Effective immediately, Handbook F-101, Field
Accounting Procedures, is revised to include handling neg-
ative balance customer trust accounts. As a reminder,
postal retail units (PRUs) and bulk mail entry units (BMEUs)
managing customer permit, periodicals, business reply
mail (BRM), and postage due trust accounts must ensure
that funds are available prior to accepting a mailing; a neg-
ative balance in a customer trust account, is not allowed.
If a customer trust account balance results in a negative
balance, it is the responsibility of the unit (e.g., PRU or
BMEU) to ensure collections of funds from customers to
maintain their accounts in good status.
For handling negative balances in customer trust
accounts, see the guidelines in Handbook F-101 as

New PS Form 4584-P, Observation of Driving Practices — Powered Industrial Trucks
A new form, PS Form 4584-P, Observation of Driving
Practices — Powered Industrial Trucks (PITs), is now avail-
able for supervisors of PIT operators and drivers.
This form and its accompanying instructions will assist
in identifying, eliminating, and documenting PIT driving
practices that can lead to accidents and injuries. Utilization
of the new form will also help us meet the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration’s statutory requirements
for PITs.
Additional information on observing PIT drivers and
documenting PIT driving observations can be found in
Handbook EL-804, Safe Driver Program.
Effective immediately, responsible officials must ensure
that:
All future PIT driving observations are documented
using PS Form 4584-P.
All locally developed and unapproved forms are not
used for future PIT driving observations, and existing
supply is destroyed.
Each completed PS Form 4584-P is maintained in
local files for a minimum of 3 years and can be pro-
duced when requested.
Print On Demand
The Material Distribution Center (MDC) supply of
PS Form 4584-P is limited. Use the print-on-demand (POD)

Community Connection: New USPS Partnership With Elementary Schools
A sample of the materials available for the USPS Community
Connection program
In celebration of National Stamp Collecting Month, the
Postal Service™ has forged “Community Connection,” a
new community partnership for elementary educators
across the country.
Community Connection provides schools with the
resources of more than 32,700 Post Offices™, the Postal
Service’s archive of American history and culture, and new
tools for teaching primary school students through stamps.
“The Postal Service is committed to creating a partner-
ship that’s a significant contributor to elementary school
improvement plans,” said David Failor, executive director,
Stamp Services. “Community Connection offers extensive
and significant curriculum-based tools that will benefit edu-
cators and advance student achievement at the primary
level.”
The Postal Service will provide elementary schools with
an oversized 2009-10 “School Days and American Ways”
classroom calendar filled with American history, lesson
plan suggestions, and graphics.
Also included are tips for developing extracurricular
stamp collecting hobbies, stamp-related articles, and
images published online and in children’s educational peri-
odicals. Schools will also have the opportunity for orga-
nized educational field trips to local Post Offices and time-
released and curriculum-coordinated educator kits.

Good News Benjamin Award Update
We appreciate and value the work postmasters have
done over the years to spread the good news about the
Postal Service™ and its products and services through the
Good News Benjamin Award program. However, the time
has come for a review of the award criteria and how the
award can be made more relevant to the corporate goals of
this organization. We have decided to suspend the award
program. Our intent is to introduce a new award program,
with new eligibility criteria, that will recognize the best PR
practices to promote the Postal Service. We will involve
postmasters with the process to help us determine the
most realistic criteria for the new award. Your participation
and involvement in this process will be greatly appreciated.
While the award program is suspended, we appreciate in
advance the great work that postmasters will do this com-
ing year to continue to communicate good news. Postmas-
ters can look forward to new material from Corporate
Communications to help support their efforts. We will keep
you posted as we move forward.

Account Identifier Code 074, Special Provisions Local Trust Advance Deposit
Effective October 17, 2009, Post Offices™ and postal
retail units (PRUs) will no longer use AIC 074, Special
Provisions Local Trust Advance Deposit, or AIC 474,
Special Provisions Local Trust Withdrawal, unless they are
authorized by their district finance manager. AIC 074 and
AIC 474 will be used in compliance with Handbook F-101,
Section 18-2, Special Provisions Trust Account, which
allows using AIC 074 and AIC 474 for government agencies
that are governed by annual budgets and require a once-a-
year advance deposit for future payment of postal products
and services. This requires the PRU to maintain and man-
age individual government advance deposit accounts.
At POS ONE offices, AIC 074 and AIC 474 will not be
accessed except for those offices that are authorized by
their district finance managers. The district finance manag-
ers have identified a list of authorized PRUs, with their unit
finance numbers, that can use these AICs. It is the respon-
sibility of the authorized PRU to do the following:
Maintain an individual government advance deposit
account using PS Form 25, Trust Fund Account.
Enter the deposits and withdrawals and calculate the
balance.
Report activities for all accounts on PS Form 3083,
Trust Accounts Receipts and Withdrawals, daily, at
the close of business.
At least once a month, the postmaster, manager or
supervisor must verify that the AIC 074 closing
balance in the Accounting Data Mart (ADM) or
Narrowcast report matches the closing balance on
PS Form 3083 and the PS Form 25 daily summary
(see Handbook F-101, Section 18-2).
All other PRUs not authorized to use AIC 074 or 474
must ensure the following:
If you have a balance amount, either negative or pos-
itive, in AIC 074, you must zero-out this amount and
close the account prior to October 17, 2009.
After October 17, 2009, any balance amount will be
purged and expensed to the unit finance number.
After October 17, 2009, unauthorized offices will
either not have access to these AICs, or, if used, will
create an exception which entails an expense to the
10-digit unit finance number.

torial postmarks to commemorate local events celebrated
in communities throughout the nation. A list of events for
which pictorial postmarks are authorized appears below.
The sponsor of the pictorial postmark appears in italics
under the date. Also provided are illustrations of these
postmarks.
People attending these local events may obtain the

established there. Those who cannot attend the event but
who wish to obtain the postmark may submit a mail order
request. Pictorial postmarks are available only for the dates
indicated, and requests must be postmarked no later than
30 days following the requested pictorial postmark date.
All requests must include a stamped envelope or post-
card bearing at least the minimum First-Class Mail

Such items will be returned unserviced.
Customers wishing to obtain a postmark should affix

ness, and tuck in the flap. Place the envelope or postcard

Postal Service returns the items (with or without addresses)
under addressed protective cover.

How to Order the First Day of Issue Digital Color or Traditional Postmarks
Customers have 60 days to obtain the first day of issue
postmarks by mail. They may purchase new stamps at their
local Post Office™, by telephone at 800-STAMP-24, or at
The Postal Store
®
website at www.usps.com/shop.
Traditional Postmarks
Customers should affix the stamps to envelopes of their
choice, address them to themselves or others, or provide a
self-addressed return envelope with sufficient postage
large enough to accommodate the canceled item. Mail the
request to the corresponding city of issuance. There is no
charge for the first 50 postmarks. There is a 5-cent charge
for each additional postmark over 50. Customers should
submit a check, money order, or credit card for payment.
After applying the first day of issue postmark, the Postal
Service™ will return the envelopes to the customer by U.S.
Mail.
All postmark requests should go to the first day of issue
city. The first day of issue city Post Office will then forward
in bulk all postmark requests to Cancellation Services,
Stamp Fulfillment Services, PO Box 449992, Kansas City,
MO 64144-9992 by respective Post Offices.
Digital Color Postmarks
Only select stamp issues offer a digital color postmark.
Customers may submit #6 or #10 envelopes constructed of
paper rated as “laser safe.” The Postal Service recom-
mends envelopes of 80-pound Accent Opaque, acid-free,
9/16" side seams with no glue on the flap. The maximum
size of all digital color postmarks is 2" high x 4" long. Allow
sufficient space on the envelope to accommodate the
postmark. Do not use self-adhesive labels for addresses on
the envelope. Two test envelopes must be included. There
is a minimum of 10 envelopes at 50 cents per postmark
required at the time of servicing. Customers should submit
a check, money order, or credit card for payment.
The Postal Service reserves the right to not accept
hand-painted and other cachet envelopes that are not
compatible with our digital color postmark equipment. The
Postal Service also reserves the right to substitute tradi-
tional black rubber postmarks if use of nonspecified enve-
lopes results in poor image quality or damage to
equipment.
Customers should affix the stamps to the envelopes and
address them to themselves or others for return through
the mail. Or, they may include an additional self-addressed
return envelope, large enough to accommodate their can-
celed items, with sufficient postage affixed for return of
their postmarked items. Mail the request for a first day of
issue digital color postmark to the corresponding city of
issuance. Post Offices will then forward all customer
requests for digital color postmarks to Cancellation
Services, Stamp Fulfillment Services, PO Box 449992,
Kansas City, MO 64144-9992.
After applying the first day of issue postmark, the Postal
Service will return the envelopes to the customer by U.S.
Mail.

Outdoor Collection Box Equipment is Available for Purchase
Outdoor collection box equipment is now available through the Material Distribution Center (MDC). The revised MLB-CO-
08-010 (see http://blue.usps.gov/purchase/_pdf/ops_mlb08-010.pdf) contains a complete list of the equipment available
under this national contract. Many equipment improvements have been made. In addition to security upgrades, the boxes
will have a new anti-graffiti additive. This will reduce maintenance costs, make cleaning of all exterior surfaces much easier,
and help preserve the most visible of postal icons for many years to come.
If you have any questions, call Dan Jackson at 336-665-2867 or e-mail him at [email protected].
