SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is an advance notice of the Postal 
Service's intent to modify some of its International Mailing rules to 
conform with the new Universal Postal Union (UPU) requirements for 
certain Letter Post mail, effective January 1, 2018. After lengthy 
deliberations, UPU member countries voted to identify and separate 
items by content as documents versus goods, for purposes of adopting a 
universal, world-wide standard.
    In order for the Postal Service to meet this new standard, the 
contents of First-Class Mail International postcard, letter, and large 
envelope (flat) mail; International Priority Airmail (IPA) postcard, 
letter, and large envelope (flat) mail; and International Surface Air 
Lift (ISAL) postcard, letter, and large envelope (flat) mail will be 
limited to documents.
    Effective January 1, 2018, mailers who wish to mail any type of 
goods, regardless of shape, must use First Class Package International 
Service or another available service. Technical details and proposed 
IMM changes will be published at a later date and before 
implementation.
