SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

General Description

GPL is a service that provides fast, economical international

delivery of packages containing merchandise. GPL makes it easier and

less costly for mail-order companies to export goods. The Postal

Service provides GPL a destination country-specific basis pursuant to

the terms and conditions stipulated in section 620 of the International

Mail Manual and the Individual Country Listings.

II. GPL to Canada

Description

GPL to Canada currently offers an Air Courier, a Ground Courier,

and a Ground Gateway service. The Air Courier Service will be renamed

GPL Premium. There will be no other changes to the Air Courier service.

The Ground Courier service will be renamed GPL Standard. The Ground

Gateway Service will be discontinued, since the new GPL Standard rates

will be lower than the Ground Gateway rates. GPL Standard will differ

from the existing Ground Courier service in the following ways:

1. Pricing will be based on four originating zones in the United

States and local, regional, and national destinating zones in Canada.

2. Insurance coverage will be increased. Insurance will be included

in the price for up to $100 (U.S.), and optional coverage of $100-$1000

(U.S.) will be available for a fee of $.90 per $100 of insurance over

the first $100 based on the value of the item declared.

3. For mail entering Canada through Vancouver (generally, mail

originating in Zone C (Seattle) or Zone D (San Francisco)) there will

be no changes other than those mentioned in items #1 and #2 above; that

is, a new pricing structure and an increase in insurance availability.

4. For mail entering Canada through Toronto (generally, mail

originating in Zone A (Buffalo, Chicago, New York City) or in Zone B

(Dallas, Miami)), the following additional changes will take place:

The service standard is anticipated to be from three to

five days after receipt by the U.S. Postal Service.

Preparation requirements will include that the customer

place a Canada Post Xpresspost label on the package.

[[Page 58911]]

III. Rates

For GPL Standard, rates will differ based on origin processing site

and destination, and will in most cases be substantially below current

rates. There are four origin zones:

Zone A. includes entry Chicago, New York, Buffalo;

Zone B. Miami, Dallas;

Zone C. Seattle;

Zone D. San Francisco.

Mail originating in Zones A and B will generally be dispatched to

Toronto; mail originating in Zones C and D will be generally dispatched

to Vancouver. mail entered in Dallas may be dispatched to either

Toronto or Vancouver. There are three destination zones for each

Canadian entry point: local, regional, and national, based on distance

from Toronto or Vancouver. Effective October 31, 1997, rates for

packages mailed to Canada via GPL are as follows:

Zone A
