ABSTRACT:
There is provided a system for processing international mail. The system includes a weigh in station for weighing the total weight of received mail, a recordal station for recording the total number of pieces of received mail and for establishing criteria to identify the mail in the system, an affixing station, located downstream of the weighing and recordal stations, for affixing an indicia onto the mail and a sorting station, located downstream of the affixing station, for sorting the mail by country. The system also includes a processing unit that stores received information and processes the stored information to derive processed information, and a weighing and processing station located downstream of the sorting station. The weighing and processing station is operatively connected to the processing unit and, in conjunction with the processing unit, establishes a control weight per piece for identical pieces of mail to be sent to each country and determines the total number of pieces per country, and, if desired, separated into lightweight and heavyweight. The system further provides for the generating of reports based on the information processed by the processing unit.
