The Postal Service has updated the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, International Mail Manual (IMM), and its Price List to adjust prices for various international mailing services. This comes following approval by the Postal Regulatory Commission. The changes affect services like Priority Mail Express International, Priority Mail International, and First-Class Package International Service, with an average price increase of 4.9% for many services. Additionally, the Postal Service is modifying some country group assignments and foreign office exchange codes, particularly for destinations like St. Pierre and Miquelon.
Simple Explanation
The Postal Service is making mail services to other countries a bit more expensive, a bit like how your favorite candy can cost more sometimes, and they're also changing some technical details about sending mail far away.
