Customs Value

The Customs Value is the total invoice amount (excluding discounts, freight, insurance, and other charges) for a United States to Puerto Rico or Canada shipment. This amount is required by U.S. Customs and must be equal to the invoice line total of the shipment.

Dangerous Goods

A dangerous good is a substance that is capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, or property when transported in commerce. UPS accepts packages containing dangerous goods on a contract-only basis.

All dangerous goods tendered to UPS for shipment must be classified, packaged, marked, and labeled in accordance with the UPS Guide for Shipping Ground and Air Hazardous Materials in effect at the time of shipment and all applicable government laws and regulations. The origin and destination of the shipment, as well as the mode of transportation, determine the valid regulation set.

WorldShip^® must communicate with an external Dangerous Goods Shipment Preparation program for all shipments that contain dangerous goods. WorldShip receives and transmits the dangerous goods details electronically to UPS. An additional charge is assessed for each dangerous goods package.

You must set up WorldShip to produce the appropriate dangerous goods documentation:

You can export the dangerous goods data to a CSV-formatted file and then generate the dangerous goods documentation using the UPS Hazardous Materials Software.
You can use an external third party dangerous goods system. The system must be configured through the 32-bit ODBC Administrator prior to using the HAZMAT/DG option.

You must attach a UPS Shipping Paper for Dangerous Goods to each dangerous goods package. Also, you must give your UPS driver a UPS Shipper's Certificate for Dangerous Goods (manifest for all the dangerous goods picked up from a single address by a UPS vehicle). UPS cannot accept your package without these two pieces of documentation.
