EXFC • Export • Measurement begins with induction in mailbox – included in IBM EXFC Domestic bundles. • Measurement ends with last Planet Code read at ISC. • On time if processed by 2000 “J+1”
EXFC • Import • Measurement begins with processing operation where mail piece receives its first Planet Code or ID tag read. • Follows the same measurement criteria as domestic. • OND, 2Day, 3Day
EXFC • Effective October 1, 2006, the International EXFC (INTL) has been rolled into domestic EXFC for FY 2007 NPA purposes.
