The use of non-denomination stamps to pay for letter postage in new formats

The current stamp categorized up to 350 g, size A, will be used to pay for the S format M format shipments can be paid for using the size A stamp up to 1,000 g, while L format can be paid for using the following stamps: size B up to 350 g, size B up to 1,000 g, and size A and size B stamps up to 2,000 g.
