New Customer Support Ruling for Mailers Preparing Pallets
We issued new Customer Support Ruling (CSR) PS-327, "Preparing and Labeling Low Volume Pallets." This CSR allows mailers to use low-volume pallets when a barcoded label is applied for efficient mail tracking.
New CSR PS-327, and all CSRs, are available on Postal Explorer at pe.usps.com (click "Customer Support Rulings" on the homepage). CSRs help Postal Service employees and customers use our mailing standards by providing examples of specific mailpieces and an analysis of how the standards are applied. CSRs cover many topics and can be easily searched and sorted on Postal Explorer.
The Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) is available on Postal Explorer (pe.usps.com). To subscribe to the DMM Advisory, send an e-mail to dmmadvisory@usps.com. Simply indicate "subscribe" in the subject line.
