    UPS will inspect the package prior to USPS handoff. If damaged, they will not hand if off, but will instead return to the sender.

ParcelGuard Insurance Recommended!

ShippingEasy allows you to add shipment insurance with ParcelGuard if you need to insure packages beyond the default coverage or ensure the package is covered no matter which carrier delivers it. Additionally, the ParcelGuard claims process doesn't change and can be initiated directly in ShippingEasy.

UPS reserves the right to update service details and restrictions at any time.

UPS Declared Value

UPS One Balance from ShippingEasy does not support declared values of more than $100. If you want additional coverage for UPS One Balance shipments, you can do so with Shipsurance.

Customs Forms with UPS Paperless Invoicing

  • UPS Paperless Invoicing is a free service automatically enabled for UPS One Balance accounts. This eliminates the need for paper invoices by electronically transferring your international shipping information to UPS, thereby expediting the clearance process for Customs officials.

  • International labels will have "EDI" on the label in lieu of printing customs forms.

  • UPS Paperless Invoicing also provides an electronic Certificate of Origin for shipments to and from the United States and Canada. The Certificate can help you get preferential duty treatment.

  • When shipping First Class International Mail to any destination,  or Priority Mail International to Military Mail and U.S. Territories, the total value of the shipment cannot be more than $400. The value would need to be adjusted or, depending on the package details, the order could be split.

UPS Paperless Invoice Labels Must Be Shipped Within 14 Days

UPS requires international packages that use paperless invoicing (EDI) be shipped within 14 days of creating the label. This ensures the shipment details are still in their system during the parcel’s transit to its destination. If a package has not been shipped within 14 days of label creation, UPS recommends voiding the label and creating a new one to decrease the chances of holds at customs.
