International Tab in the Shipper Editor Window

The International tab allows you to select the export documents you want to generate and print using UPS WorldShip or the Automated Export System (AES). Your choices are Invoice, Address Only Invoice, Shipper's Export Declaration (SED), Certificate of Origin (CO), and NAFTA CO. You can also select lane preferences for Paperless documents.

Note: If you generate your own export documents, use this tab to specify that you do not want WorldShip to generate the documents.

Using the International tab:

  1. Choose how you want to handle invoices:

    Tip:
    If you have a Paperless Invoice contract, the Enable Invoice check box is selected and is inactive. UPS prepares and submits invoices electronically if the destination country accepts Paperless documentation. Paperless invoices eliminate your need to print and attach invoices to your shipments.

  2. To generate invoices using WorldShip, do the following under Invoice:

  3. Select the Enable Invoice check box.

    Tip:
     For Trade Direct shippers, this check box allows you to print child shipment invoices.

  1. Choose how you want to handle Shipper's Export Declarations (SEDs):

  2. To generate SEDs using WorldShip, select Enable SED and type the number of copies you want to generate in the Number of Copies to Print box.

    Tip:
    If you want UPS to prepare and submit SEDs electronically, select this check box. See Submit Paperless International Documents to UPS.

  3. To use the Automated Export System (AES) to file an SED electronically with the US Census Bureau prior to shipment departure, select AES Option 2 Pre Departure. You must provide an Exporter Identification Number (EIN) from the shipper for the shipment.

  4. To use the AES to file an SED electronically with the US Census Bureau after shipment departure, select AES Option 4 Post Departure. The US Census Bureau must preapprove the shipper, and you must provide an EIN from the shipper for the shipment. If you select this option, the SED tab will not appear on the Customs Documentation tab in the Shipping window.

  5. If you do not file SEDs electronically and you print SEDs using another tool, select None. If you select this option, the SED tab will not appear on the Customs Documentation tab in the Shipping window.

  6. If you want to print UPS World Ease SEDs in a batch during close out, select the Batch Print World Ease SEDs check box. If you select this check box, you will be prompted during close out to print the SEDs for all master shipments. SEDs will not print during child shipment processing.

    Tip
    : This check box appears only if you have a contract for UPS World Ease.

  1. Choose how you want to handle Certificates of Origin (COs) and NAFTA COs:

  2. To generate COs using WorldShip, select the Enable CO check box and type the number of copies you want to generate in the Number of Copies to Print box.

    Tip:
    If you want UPS to prepare and submit COs electronically, select this check box. See Submit Paperless International Documents to UPS.

  3. To generate NAFTA COs using WorldShip, select the Enable NAFTA CO check box.

    Tip:
    If you have a Paperless NAFTA CO contract and select this check box, UPS prepares and submits NAFTA COs electronically if the destination country accepts Paperless documentation. Paperless NAFTA COs eliminate your need to print and attach NAFTA COs to your shipments.

  4. If you do not want to generate COs or NAFTA COs using WorldShip, clear the appropriate check boxes.

  1. To select lane preferences for your international shipments, click the Lane Preferences button under Paperless Preferences. Using the Lane Preferences window, select either Paperless or Printed for each destination country.

    Note:
    The Lane Preferences button appears only if you have a contract for Paperless Invoices and/or Paperless NAFTA CO.
