Here you see the Global Priority Mail envelop. Available in every US post office at a fixed price of $9.00.. Most economical way to send up to 15 comic books fast to Europe
The picture shows the cardboard 'sandwich', used to protect the books. They are just sheets made out of any old carboard box. Cut to be just a little taller and wider than the comics and then put at each end.
	Sandwich is ready and cardboard + comics fit snugly and safely into the envelop.
You need to fill in the green customs slip. do not put a value higher than $15.00 on each customs slip... I have to pay 31% import duty because comics are not regarded as literature but as toys !!! The duty is also levied on the postage,but if postage + value stays under $30 then there is no duty to be paid. Also please mark that the comics are a 'gift - used magazines' We have some very weird laws in my country

M-bags are direct sacks of printed matter sent to one international address, at a orangeuced postage rate.

The post office will GIVE you a giant white bag with an "M" Bag tag and a mailing slip.
You must box all books and place the box(es) in the bag and close it. Each box must be labeled clearly with a "To:" and "From:".

You can send as many bags as you wish, but the most economical is to send a minimum of 10lbs. at once. Anywhere between
1-10 lbs, it will cost $11, so you might as well send 10 lbs. From 10-70 lbs., it costs $1 for each additional pound

Basic requirements to ship material via the M-bag process:

1. Material being shipped must be printed matter.
2. Minimum weight-price per sack is 11 pounds, including mail bag.
3. Maximum weight per sack is 66 pounds, including mail bag.
4. Multiple packages can be placed in one M-bag as long as the total sack does not exceed 66 pounds.
5. M-bag contents cannot be registeorange or insuorange.
6. Each M-bag must have one #2976 Customs Form completed and attached to the actual M-bag tag.

Assembly of an M-bag
Supplies needed to assemble an M-bag: (All Free from Post Office)

1.      1- M-bag tag

2.      1- #2976 Customs Form

3.      1- White #1 (large) or #2 (medium) canvas mail sack

Package the printed matter in sturdy boxes. A standard copier paper box is the largest dimensional container
that will easily fit into a postal sack. Label the box with the complete address of the recipient and your
complete return address. In the upper right corner of the box (where postage would normally go), write in the
words POSTAGE PAID BY M-BAG. Repeat the above process until you have packaged all your printed matter
or reached the maximum weight limit of 66 pounds per sack.

Complete the M-bag tag and attach it to the mail sack. Complete the #2976 Customs Form and attach
it to the M-bag tag over the large block "M".

Do not put a value higher than $25.00 on each customs slip... I have to pay 31% import duty because comics are not regarded as literature but as toys !!! The duty is also levied on the postage,but if
postage + value stays under $40 then there is no duty to be paid. Also please mark that the comics
are a 'gift - used magazines' We have some very weird laws in my country  

Note: this is a change from past M-bag procedures, now only one Custom Form
per sack, not one Customs Form per box.

Select service class by writing "surface" on the M-Bag tag. Tags not marked will default to the surface class.
