Section 498 of the Tariff Act of 1930 ( 19 U.S.C. 1498 ) is amended by adding at the end the following: In this subsection: The term document means a piece of written, drawn, printed, or digital information, excluding objects of merchandise, that— is conveyed in an envelope that is less than or equal to 165 millimeters in width, 245 millimeters in length, and 5 millimeters in depth; and weighs 100 grams or less when conveyed. The term merchandise has the same meaning as that term is defined in section 401 but does not include a document.
Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for merchandise meeting the requirements of subsection (a), the Postmaster General shall comply with the entry requirements of section 484. Any regulation issued pursuant to this subsection shall apply identical entry procedures for merchandise imported through the mail as are applied for merchandise imported via a private carrier. .
