110 POSTAL BULLETIN 22164 (9-29-05) REMINDER Use of PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note — CP 72 As noted in the two articles about PS Form 2976-A, Customs Declaration and Dispatch Note — CP 72, in Postal Bulletin 22162 (9-1-05 pages 90−94), we redesigned PS Form 2976-A to meet the new requirements for mail security, and the newest edition is dated June 2005. In the first of the two articles, we stated that mailers may use the January 2004 edition of PS Form 2976-A until January 1, 2006. However, we want to clarify that mailers may also use the June 2005 edition until January 1, 2006. Each office should examine its inventory of PS Form 2976-A to ensure that it is distributing editions dated January 2004 or June 2005. With the fall mailing season and the holiday season upon us, each office must ensure that it has enough stock to meet customer needs. We plan to release a new edition of PS Form 2976-A on January 1, 2006. If our planned release of the new edition occurs as scheduled, please do the following on January 1, 2006: Discard/recycle all 2004 and 2005 editions of the form. Begin using the 2006 edition. GLOBAL EXPRESS GUARANTEED SERVICE Entire GXG Transaction Available on POS ONE Global Express Guaranteed (GXG) service, the Postal Service’s premium international service offered in an alliance with FedEx, has grown by more than 50 percent since the two organizations formed the alliance in July 2004. Starting October 1, 2005, the Postal Service will increase the convenience of GXG — for both the customer and the retail sales and service associate (SSA) — by making the entire GXG transaction available on POS ONE. Transaction time will be significantly reduced, because POS ONE will guide the SSA through each step of the GXG transaction in just a couple of minutes. It will calculate and provide the guaranteed delivery date as well as the restrictions and prohibitions for specific customer contents to each country. A significant new benefit of completing GXG transactions on POS ONE is that POS ONE will show the SSA when the customer must complete PS Form 6182, Commercial Invoice. With the entire GXG transaction available on POS ONE, the SSA won’t have to refer to If our planned release of the new edition is delayed, please do the following on January 1, 2006: Discard/recycle the 2004 edition of the form. Continue using the 2005 edition until the 2006 edition is released. We will publish a Postal Bulletin article when the new edition is released.
