217 Weight and Size Limits

217.1 General

The weight, dimensional weight, and size limits set forth in this section arethe same for both Global Express Guaranteed Document service shipmentsand Non-Document service shipments.




217.2 Weight Limits

The maximum weight is 70 pounds.

217.3 Dimensional Weight

The equation for determining dimensional weight is as follows:

Dimensional Weight = (Length x Width x Height)/166

When determining the dimensional weight, round each individualmeasurement down to the nearest whole inch. Determine the postage rate for nondocument shipments by comparing the dimensional weight,(Length x Width x Height)/166, with the actual weight. Round the dimensionalweight up to a full pound. For example, (14 x 10 x 6)/166 = 5.06, which isrounded up to 6 pounds.

Of these two weights (dimensional and actual scale weight), use the higherone for Global Express Guaranteed nondocument shipments, along with theappropriate rate chart for the service required. For document shipments,record the dimensions of 1″ x 1″ x 1″ and use the actual weight to determinethe postage.

A package is defined as 10 or more pieces of mail to thesame country or separation or 1 pound or more regardless of thenumber of pieces. Packages of letter-size mail pieces should be nothicker than approximately a handful of mail (4 to 6 inches). Packagesof flat-size mail may be thicker than 6 inches but must not weigh morethan 11 pounds. Packages and sacks must be prepared and labeled asdescribed below. All mailpieces in a package must be “faced” in thesame direction (i.e., arranged so that the addresses read in the samedirection, with an address visible on the top piece). Pieces that cannotbe bundled because of their physical characteristics may be placedloose in the sack.

b. Thickness. Packages of letter-size mail should be no thicker thanapproximately a handful of mail (4 to 6 inches).

120 IMM Issue 27, June 30, 2002

packages of letter-size mail. Plastic strapping placed around the lengthand then the girth is the preferred method of securing packages offlat-size mail.

c. Direct Country Packages. When there are 10 or more pieces or1 pound or more to the same country, then such pieces must beprepared as a direct country package. If there is less than 11 pounds ofmail to the same country, then the direct country package must belabeled with a facing slip showing the destination country or countryseparation. The facing slip must be placed on the address side of thetop piece of each package in such a manner that it will not becomeseparated from the package. The pressure-sensitive labels andoptional endorsement lines used domestically for presort mail areprohibited for International Surface Air Lift Mail.

d. Residual Packages. If there is not enough mail to prepare a directcountry package (fewer than 10 pieces or less than 1 pound), the mailis considered residual mail. When there are fewer than 10 pieces to thesame country, then such pieces should be combined in packages withother mail for countries within the same rate group that similarly havefewer than 10 pieces. Such mixed country packages must be labeledwith a facing slip marked “Residual, Rate Group ___.” The designatedrate group (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8) must be inserted as appropriate.
