美国邮政USPS正式提交关于滥用虚假面单的处理方案

美国时间2023年2月15日，美国邮政正式向联邦政府提交了关于处理虚

假邮政面单及包裹的最新处理方案，并向美国民众展开为期一个月的意见收集。

此次拟出台的处理方案，将工作重心聚焦在修改美国邮政内部操作手册，即行业内熟知的Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®)上。根据现行的DMM，美国邮政的风控部门即使发现了批量使用的虚假面单，也无权集中销毁或开包查验这些货件。如果此次针对DMM 604.8.4条款的修改成功获得批准，美国邮政的员工将获得集体授权对所有可疑包裹进行查验，并对确认为虚假面单的包裹进行集中销毁且无需单独通知或征得收/发件人许可。

公示原文如下：

WASHINGTON — In recent years, a surge in the use of counterfeit postage has been found in the mail stream. The intentional use, or sale, of counterfeit postage is a crime because it seeks to obtain services without payment. This activity reflects an intentional effort to defraud the Postal Service of the funds it needs to provide services to the public.

In response to this problem, the Postal Service is filing a federal register notice about changes to the Mailing Standards of the United States Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM®), that will allow the Postal Service to treat items found in the mail stream bearing counterfeit postage as abandoned. “As the most trusted government agency in the nation, we will continue to work together with other law enforcement and government agencies to protect the sanctity of the mail,” said Chief Postal Inspector Gary Barksdale.

The Postal Service’s proposed changes will provide the public notice of the handling of items bearing counterfeit postage. Under the revision to DMM 604.8.4, articles found in the mails with counterfeit postage will be considered abandoned and may be opened and disposed of at the Postal Service’s discretion. The mission of the Postal Service and the Postal Inspection Service is to ensure the safety, security, and integrity of the U.S. Mail. The implementation of these new regulations will continue to support and enhance this mission.

Counterfeit postage is any marking or indicia that has been made, printed, or otherwise created without authorization from the Postal Service that is printed or applied, or otherwise affixed, on an article placed in the mails that indicates or represents that valid postage has been paid to mail the article. Consumers purchasing online items may be surprised to find out that the vendor mailed their goods using counterfeit postage. Under the new regulations, such items will be considered abandoned and disposed of at the Postal Service’s discretion. When this occurs, consumers will have to seek recourse from the vendor.
