No ... separate first class rates for Canada/Mexico and the rest of the world. The confusion probably comes from the International Postal Tables that list the "rate group" for each service and each country. The tables have a column for First Class mail but there are only two "rate groups" (VE/XE and the rest of the world). Package rates vary all over the map depending on service and country. The big change is that surface parcel post has been discontinued for international parcels. That will move all international parcel post to air service at much higher rates. see: www.usps.com/cpim/ftp/bulletin/2007/pb22203a.pdf 73, ...
