We have had several items about this recently in DX Listening Digest, including
this one. 73, Glenn Hauser

NEW USPS INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE RATES

Glenn: I'm behind in reading a few issues of your great DXLD 
newsletter, so in case no one else has sent this in, here is 
information on the new postal rates. As of January 8, 2006 the USPS 
has five country groups for international airmail, and the rates vary 
by country / group. This may not seem like much to a casual mailer, 
but if a regular SWL or Ham does a lot of mailing the listener could 
end up paying too much over a year for postage. 
Here are the rates by "Group": 

Group 1 and 2 = 63 cents for the first ounce, 90 cents for 2 ounces 
Group 3 = 84 cents for the first ounce, $1.70 for two ounces 
Group 4 = 84 cents for the first ounce, $1.80 for two ounces 
Group 5 = 84 cents for the first ounce, $1.65 for two ounces 

Here is a direct link to the "Country Rate Group List" to determine 
which group the country to which you are mailing is located:

Here is a direct link to all International Rates, but the 
international airmail rates are found about half way down this page. 
The table is titled "AIRMAIL LETTER-POST" :

Aerogrammes to all countries / groups will cost 75 cents.
