There are several things to consider when shipping Orders internationally.  There is additional information required to send to the carriers for international destinations and this should be accurate. 


  1. Product: 
    1. Value - When shipping Orders abroad, it is important to have accurate sell pricing established for the line items on the Order.  These prices will be included on the Commercial invoice (and visible to recipient). A value must be included for each item, even if there is a 100% discount.
    2. Description - Product description for the product will come from the Item's Item Description field.
    3. Commodity Codes: Items being shipped need to be associated with Commodity codes.  See Create Commodity Codes
    4. Country of Origin - This value will be pulled from the Item Receipts that product is allocated from.
    5. Weight - Product weight will be calculated based on the Item Receipt weights that product is allocated from.
  2. Cartonization data:  For multiple carton orders, it is required that these be either:
    1. Cartonized - Can be done at the time of fulfillment.
    2. Pack Station - Orders can be packed at the pack station.
  3. Customs Info.  Additional customs information should be setup.  
    1. Incoterm - Value for handling duties and taxes, defaults to 'DDP' (Delivered Duty Paid)
      1. Values
        1. EXW – Ex Works (named place of delivery)
        2. FCA – Free Carrier (named place of delivery)
