International Mail with Customs Declaration Form (PS Form 2976 and 2976-A)	XEROX RECYCLED COPY PAPER	COMPRESSED GAS SHORTAGE & PRICE INCREASE
On January 27, 2013, the United States Postal Service (USPS) will revise the mailing standards to require that customs information for international packages is electronically transmitted to the USPS The majority of international mail items will require a customs form. The type of customs form required will depend on the service and the declared value of the mail piece To ensure USC is compliant with these requirements, it is very important that departments sending international mailings (i.e. books, merchandise, small packets, etc.) fill out the customs form electronically. Customs forms received that are handwritten or incomplete will be returned to the department To fillout the customs forms online click here Click here for more information	In an effort to support the sustainability initiatives of the university, regular copy paper will no longer be available through MMMS once our current stock is depleted Departments are strongly encouraged to help support this initiative by purchasing recycled paper. We currently have recycled paper in stock for your convenience The cost is $39.50 per case Please email us at mmsorder@usc.edu for your future orders for recycled paper	Due to the current shortages of Carbon Monoxide, Ethane and Methane nationwide, our suppliers can no longer give us estimated time of delivery. Our suppliers get these products from Texas and Louisiana and are now shipped via Railcar. These gases can’t be processed in California because of environmental laws. For now when someone orders these products it could take longer than 4 weeks including shipping to receive the items. Please keep the nationwide shortage in mind when placing your compressed gas order. Due to Helium being rationed and a supplier shortage the price has increased. Please call or email our office for a current price list. Click on "READ MORE" to see the letter from our supplier: Gilmore Liquid Air.
