What is the maximum value for FCMI and FCPI shipments?

The maximum value for FCMI (First-Class Mail International) and FCPI (First-Class Package International) shipments is indeed set at $400. This amount reflects the limitations placed on these particular services in order to align with international shipping regulations and to ensure proper handling and delivery protocols.

By establishing a maximum value, the USPS ensures that shipments are manageable in terms of insurance and liability while also providing an efficient way to handle customs processing for international parcels. Understanding this limit is crucial for postal workers and customers alike, as it applies directly to shipping choices and pricing options available when sending packages internationally.

This policy is in place to maintain consistency in service and to facilitate smooth transactions across various international shipping scenarios.
