In order for them to respnd in the USA to Australia in a C4 sized envelope. How many IRCs do they need. Do IRCs exchange differently in different countries?

International Reply Coupons



International reply coupons (IRCs) provide foreign addressees with a prepaid means of responding to inquiries, solicitations, or other types of communications that are initiated by U.S. senders. IRCs are exchangeable for postage stamps by postal administrations in member countries of the Universal Postal Union (UPU). Each IRC is equivalent in value to the destination country鈥檚 minimum postage price for an unregistered airmail letter. The purchase price is $2.10 per coupon.



As of October 11, 2007, only international reply coupons printed by the Universal Postal Union can be redeemed at U.S. Post Offices. The valid version of the international reply coupons printed by the Universal Postal Union is approximately 3.75 inches by 6 inches, has a barcode on the back, and has an expiration date of December 31, 2009. This policy is for international reply coupons issued by the United States as well as for those issued by foreign postal administrations.How much International Reply Coupons do i need in a letter that i am sending to the USA from Australia?
Most Americans don't know what an International Reply Coupon is. Would it be something like the amount of postage?



You may get better answers by asking this question in the "AUSTRALIA" section, or by calling your local post office and asking for the rates for international mail.
