(453.1.0)
Standard Mail, Parcel Select, Bound Printed Matter, and Periodicals may be eligible for further discounts if
the mail is entered closer to its destination.
After mail is verified and postage is paid at the facility where the mailer holds the permit, the mail can be
taken to three places to receive a destination entry discount: a destination network distribution center
(DNDC) (or destination area distribution center (DADC) for Periodicals), a destination sectional center
facility (DSCF), or a destination delivery unit (DDU). The discount received depends on where the mail is
entered.
Prices and Fees Discount varies by destination and class of mail, subject to payment of applicable mailing fees.
All mail must meet the eligibility, volume, and preparation standards for the class of mail and price claimed.
Standard Mail (see 246 for letters, 346 for flats, or 446 for parcels):
Minimum volume: 200 or more addressed pieces (or 50 pounds) per mailing. Regular and Nonprofit
Standard Mail meeting the basic standards in 243.2.0, 343.2.0, or 443.2.0 may qualify for DNDC, DSCF, or

■ DNDC price applies to mail deposited at the correct DNDC (or destination auxiliary service facility (ASF))
addressed for delivery within that facility’s service area and prepared subject to the standards for the price
claimed.
■ DSCF price applies to mail deposited at the correct DSCF (L002, Column C). The mail must be addressed
for delivery within that facility's service area and placed in a tray, sack, or pallet (as permitted by the price
