You are assuming that I understand your abbreviations. I don't. They mean 
nothing to me in the UK, nor I suspect to others outside of your postal / 
shipping environment. Try explaining things better so we understand what 
you're trying to do.

Try looking at this page:

http://www.sined.co.uk/tmp/usps2.htm

Note that I have separated the data array variables, the javascript and 
the html. I gave up with the original js and wrote my own from scratch, 
although it could probably benefit from some performance optimisations 
and being made a little more robust concerning the values it expects as 
input and in the data arrays.

You don't need to separate the national and international calculation, 
you can detect from the selection of USA as country that you want a zip 
code. If the country is not USA, perform an international calculation, 
otherwise perform a zip based calculation. If USA is selected and no zip 
is supplied, show an error indication on the zip field.

Question - are the other rates based on the same zip code and 
international shipping zones as the USPS rates? If not, you will need 
separate zone data as well as separate zone -> rate lookups for them.

Ditto the maximum weights.

Your international data appears to assign the same country code to Vanuata 
and Uzbekistan, but although the the country code to zone lookup places 
both entries for UZ in the same zone, they have different maximum 
weights. This will cause a problem as either the maximum weight for 
Vanuatu will always be chosen, or the maximum weight for Uzbekistan.

My code should be extendable to handle your multiple shipping methods 
provided that you make relevant edits and provide suitable data arrays to 
it, and that the general format of the other data arrays is the same as 
that of the USPS arrays.

Note that the only changes you should need to make, if you provide 
suitably defined arrays of data for FCPIS, PMI and PMEI is to change the 
array names in the relevant lines in the array variable called control at 
the head of the usos2_code.js file, and to include the data files for the 
other methods in the document head.

At the moment the code just calculates all 4 values using the same data 
arrays, as defined by the entries in the array variable "control".
