* Important Notice about MAC Certification.

In 2011 Harvey Software made the decision to switch to new technology to greatly enhance its high volume USPS tools to process packages.  This new technology will not completely be able to support all the features of the current Harvey Software USPS Mail Manifest product until the second half of 2012.  This is because some of the features currently supported will not be available by USPS until then.  Because of this switch, Harvey Software did not go through the voluntarily 2011 MAC certification cycle even though this will be the first time in over 10 years.  This should not be an issue for any shipper as certification is done locally for each installation and we do meet USPS requirements.  Harvey Software will continue to maintain support for its legacy USPS Mail Manifesting product until it can be completely replaced with the latest USPS technology.  Anyone purchasing or using the current USPS Mail Manifest product will be able to easily switch once it is available.  If you have questions about this please contact Harvey Software Sales.

** Important Change Notice for USPS Mail Manifesting Customers Starting January 22, 2012

Starting January 22, 2012 there will be new requirements related to international postage payment and customs form creation for all shippers using USPS Mail Manifesting.  Due to federal customs and export control regulations and policies, customs information on several types of international packages and shipments must be electronically submitted to United States Customs and Border Protection prior to the shipments leaving the country.  These changes impact shippers who present hard-copy permit imprint mail manifests and/or using USPS-produced or privately printed customs forms.  To meet the new regulations USPS has changed their requirements for International Mail Manifesting for Priority Mail International and Express Mail International.  Starting January 22, 2012, paper customs documents may no longer be submitted with these manifested packages shipped through the USPS.

These changes are only for those CPS shippers printing a daily USPS Mail Manifest for international packages. It does not affect any CPS shipper using Internet postage or any other form of USPS service supported in CPS or provided by any other CPS supported carriers.

Harvey Software’s customers must use Internet Postage in order to continue shipping their formerly manifested international packages through CPS.  All domestic packages can be processed using USPS Mail Manifesting in CPS as normal.  To learn more about how CPS integrates with Internet Postage click here...
