UPS introduced several key compliance and user experience enhancements for July 2026, focusing on stricter validations, improved data accuracy, and streamlined regulatory workflows. These updates aim to enhance shipment processing, ensure regulatory adherence, and deliver a more consistent and guided shipping experience.

• EU De Minimis Removal: Removes legacy EU de minimis logic so duties and taxes are now applied to all shipment values, with rating and shipment processing consistently calculating full customs charges.
• Additional Shipping System Fields: Standardizes MRN data propagation and validation, ensuring consistent synchronization across fields and reliable transmission to downstream systems (ESPS and PLD).
• Expediting FDA Brokerage Holds: Captures additional shipment details during processing and automatically transmits them to brokerage with the tracking number to support faster clearance.

Using Quantum View Notify in WorldShip you can provide up to 5 recipients an email notification detailing the status of a shipment or package. There are 3 types of notifications you can add to a package or shipment:

• Shipment Notification – Alert the recipient when UPS receives the package or shipment information
• Delivery Notification – Alert the recipient about the delivery of a shipment, including the date, time, and name of the recipient
• Exception Notification – Alert the recipient when a delivery date has been rescheduled. In multi-piece shipments, recipient(s) receive one email per package with an exception

To use this feature, Select Quantum View Notify in the Options or Shipments tab in the main Shipping Window, click the Recipients button to specify recipients, type of notification, and add a memo if desired. For more information, see Request QVN Notification in WorldShip Guide.

To stay up-to-date with the latest rate and service data elements from UPS, it is encouraged to keep your WorldShip application upgraded to the latest version. When using a version of WorldShip other than the current year’s release, it is good to be aware of UPS’ data object distribution policy:

• Older than 1 year behind: Not eligible to receive quarterly rate updates from UPS. However, the latest version of last year’s release is eligible to get December/January rates is an exception.

• Older than 2 years behind: Not eligible to receive quarterly rate and other data updates such as Peak Season Surcharge, Fuel Surcharge, periodic accessorials, and other service-related distributions from UPS.

While these limitations do not prevent you from processing shipment using WorldShip, you may experience an inaccurate shipping rate and the potential for post-manifest adjustments on your invoice if using an outdated version. Upgrading to the latest version ensures you ship with accurate rates every time.
