39 CFR Part 20

Global Package Link Rate Adjustments and Introduction of Service to Argentina

AGENCY: Postal Service.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Postal Service published an interim rule and request for comments concerning adjusting the rates for Global Package Link and introducing a new structure for volume discounts in the Federal Register (63 FR 66043) on December 1, 1998. In addition, service to Argentina was initiated. The Postal Service hereby gives notice that it is adopting the interim rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: August 24, 1999.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Michelson, (202) 268-5731.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Global Package Link (GPL) is an international mail service designed for companies sending merchandise packages to other countries. To use GPL, a customer is required to mail at least 10,000 packages per year using the service and agree to link its information systems with the Postal Service so that certain information about the contents of the customer's packages can be extracted for customs clearance and other purposes.

The Postal Service announced new rates and a new discount structure for GPL in the Federal Register (63 FR 66043) on December 1, 1998. The increased rates were the result of declining economic conditions in Japan and other countries and rising costs, including implementation of harmonization for all items to Japan. Overall, the base rates were increased approximately 9 percent. See Appendix 1 for specific rates to each GPL country.

Currently, GPL provides a volume discount within each country beginning at 100,000 packages. The new discount structure is based on a mailer's worldwide volume and discounts are available when volume reaches more than 25,000 packages per postal fiscal year. Discounts increase with volume on the basis of the following schedule:

Discount Number of packages

(percent)

25,001 to 50,000............................................

1 50,001 to 75,000............................................

2 75,001 to 100,000...........................................

3 100,001 and over............................................

4

Each year's discounts are calculated on the previous postal fiscal year's volume and apply to mailings made during the next calendar year. For example, a mailer who mails 55,000 packages during postal fiscal year 1998 (September 13, 1997, through September 11, 1998) will receive a discount from the base rate for all GPL mailings made during calendar year 1999 (January 1, 1999, through December 31, 1999). Postal fiscal year 1998 will be used for discounts applied in calendar year 1999.

The Postal Service also introduced GPL service to Argentina. Two levels of service, Premium and Standard, are offered. The maximum weight of parcels to Argentina is 44 pounds with a

[[Page 46142]]

maximum size of 42 inches in length and a maximum length and girth combined of 79 inches. Rates are shown in Appendix 1. Packages sent in Premium service are insured at no additional charge, subject to the provisions of Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) S010 and S500. No insurance is available for packages sent to Argentina as Standard service.

The Postal Service requested comment on or before December 31, 1998. The Postal Service did not receive any written comments on the interim rule. Accordingly, the Postal Service adopts, without change, the interim rule.

The Postal Service adopts the following amendments to Subchapter 620, Global Package Link, and the appropriate Individual Country Listings, International Mail Manual, which are incorporated by reference in the Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR 20.1.

The Postal Service will notify the mailer electronically of the amount of duty and fees paid, and the mailer will reimburse the Postal Service in a manner and within a time agreed between the mailer and the Postal Service. Because of the need to have funds available for customers at the time of clearance in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico, mailers must make an advance deposit prior to the first mailing to cover anticipated duties and taxes in addition to postage. * * *
