Express Mail in The United States and Express Mail International
The United States Postal Service (USPS) provides Express Mail for domestic U.S. delivery, and offers two Express Mail services, although only one of them is part of the EMS standard. One is simply called Express Mail International and the other service is called Global Express Guaranteed(GXG). The latter having no relation whatsoever to "EMS" International service as provided by the EMS Cooperative.
The USPS Global Express Guaranteed (GXG), by which USPS offices act as drop locations for international packages which are then handled by FedEx international delivery network. It should be noted that in some countries, import rules for packages received by courier services have different tax brackets and duties than parcels received on the postal system, and thus EMS service (Express Mail International) is preferred over FedEx's co-branded Global Express Guaranteed.
These two USPS International Mail terms, Express Mail International and Global Express Guaranteed are often confused with their domestic service called Express Mail, which is a specific classification of mail for domestic accelerated postal delivery within the U.S.
