How to process USMCA shipments with NRGship
Posted by andyknas in FileMaker Shipping, Mac Shipping, Tools & Tips on July 30, 2020
This article is current as of July 2020. It will be updated as we receive new information from our carrier partners.
As of July 1st, 2020, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will replace the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Some shipments that cross the borders of these countries may require special import forms.
For USMCA details and forms, go to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection USMCA page. For NAFTA information, go to the U.S. Customs and Border Protection NAFTA page.
UPS
Currently the UPS Developer Kit APIs do not support the new USMCA forms for automated processing. You will need to produce your own USMCA forms and apply them to the outside of packages. You can find more information on USMCA and a sample form for UPS shipments using this link.
FedEx
Currently the FedEx Shipment APIs do not support the new USMCA forms for automated processing. You will need to produce your own USMCA forms and apply them to the outside of packages. You can find more information on USMCA and a sample form for FedEx shipments using this link. We are working on an update where you can attach a PDF version of the FedEx form to your shipment.
