The new rates for priority mail to North and South America range from ¢155 ($0.31) for letters up to 20 grams, to ¢410 ($0.82) for mail weighing 51-100 grams, plus ¢375 ($0.75) for each additional 100 grams. Sending postcards now costs ¢135 (about $0.27).

The increase was approved by the Public Services Regulatory Authority (ARESEP).
