FedEx Carrier Enhancements for Europe
We have included two new enhancements to our FedEx integration, mostly focused to be able to support you in intra-EU shipping.
🟪 Enhancement: Commercial Invoice for Intra-EU Shipments
The requirement for a commercial invoice for shipments within the European Union (intra-EU) has been revised. Here are the key points:
Optional document: The commercial invoice is now optional for intra-EU shipments.
Previous practice: FedEx traditionally requested a commercial invoice automatically for all cross-border shipments.
User control: Shippers now have the option to switch the commercial invoice requirement on or off for their intra-EU shipments.
Streamlined process: This change aims to simplify the shipping process for businesses operating within the EU.
Compliance: Ensure you're aware of any specific requirements for your particular goods or destination countries within the EU.
This update provides greater flexibility and potentially reduces paperwork for businesses engaged in intra-EU trade. (1134439)
🟪 Enhancement: European shipping presents unique challenges, particularly when it comes to character handling in addresses and documentation. To address these issues:
We've implemented enhanced character handling capabilities.
Our system now supports a wide range of special characters used across European languages.
This improvement ensures accurate processing of addresses containing accents, umlauts, and other diacritical marks.
These updates significantly reduce errors and improve the overall efficiency of our European shipping operations. (1137129)
