Here are the most important ones. Keep reading to learn more. And don't forget to check out these tips, too!

Among the changes is a hike on international letter mail, domestic Priority Mail and certain other classes of mail. The increase will take effect on Jan. 26, 2020. Domestic letters and postcards will stay the same prices. The increase also doesn't affect additional ounces of domestic mail. Despite the rate increase, the U.S. Postal Service governors approved the rate hike notice on Oct. 9. The Postal Regulatory Commission must still approve the new rates for the service to be effective.

If you are sending a heavy package, USPS Priority Mail International Flat Rate is the best choice. Priority Mail International Flat Rate offers a good balance of speed and cost. If you're looking for a flat rate option, you can also opt for Priority Mail Express International. Its flat-rate packaging allows you to send up to 70 pounds of weight to over 180 countries. There are several ways to save on international postage rates and choose the right one for your needs.
