Alertas de Serviço

 As UPS implements additional safety protocols to ensure the health and safety of our employees and the communities where we live and work, we will be temporarily suspending service for shipments into selected areas in Eastern and Northern China Mainland. The service suspension will take place from December 1, 2020 until further notice. Please note that exports from China Mainland remain unaffected. The following is a list of postal codes that are impacted by the service suspension.

Coronavirus Update

Governments of most European countries have implemented various containment measures in an attempt to stop the spread of the Novel Corona Virus. Limitations do not apply to the movement of goods and UPS continues to operate a regular service. We are currently operating Monday through Friday and serving our customers as usual.

Despite current challenges, we continue to service our customers as best we can. Current circumstances may cause some delays in transit. For example, new border controls, reduced air freight capacity in the market, and local protective regulations and quarantine measures may all impact service.

Within countries, some parcel deliveries may not be possible due to the closure of shops or businesses, or restrictions in various postcodes.

Please note that where non-essential retail locations remain closed, shipments to UPS Access Point™ locations could be impacted, although a majority of the European UPS Access Point™ network remains available. You can find all available UPS Access Point™ locations by clicking on ‘Locations’ on the Quick Start menu bar or by using the UPS Global Locator to find the nearest available location. Wearing a face mask may be required when entering a UPS Access Point™ to comply with local government’s protocols.

For parcels requiring a signature, our drivers can temporarily do this on behalf of the customer to avoid unnecessary contact via hand-held devices. We kindly request customers to open the door, accept the parcel and state their name for security purposes. Parcels that are not signed for will be marked with code UPSID plus 11 digits of the consignee’s name as proof of delivery.

Due to the unprecedented nature of the current situation, the waiting times for our customer service desk may be longer than usual. For the latest status of your shipments we encourage you to use shipment tracking on ups.com.

Suspension of Money Back Guarantee

Effective March 26, 2020 and until further notice, we have suspended the UPS Money Back Guarantee (also referred to as the UPS Service Guarantee) for all shipments from any origin to any destination.

Important Updates on the Export of Medical Supplies from China   

Export of Medical and Non-Medical Masks 

• Effective May 6, 2020, in order to facilitate customs clearance process and prevent delays, customers who are shipping (medical and/or non-medical) masks and other personal protective equipment (PPE) from China are required to provide customs declarations documents in one single file to UPS Customs Brokerage before a shipment pick-up order can be placed. For more information on this process, please reach out to a UPS China Customer Service Representative.

Export of Non-Medical Masks:  

Effective April 26, 2020, the General Administration of Customs of China (GAC), the Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM), and the General Administration of Market Supervision (GAMS) introduced new requirements for the export of non-medical masks out of China.

Non-medical masks cannot be exported if the Manufacturer is included in a “Black List” maintained by GAMS.

If the Manufacturer of the non-medical masks to be exported is not in the “Black List” but is included in a “White List” maintained by the China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Medicines and Health Products (CCCIEMHP), the Exporter of Record needs to provide a hard-copy Joint Declaration of the Importer and Exporter stating that the non-medical masks to be exported comply with quality standards of the destination country to UPS Customs Brokerage before a shipment pick-up can be placed.

If the Manufacturer of the non-medical masks to be exported is neither in the “Black List” nor the “White List”, the Exporter of Record needs to provide a hard-copy Joint Declaration of the Importer and Exporter stating that the non-medical masks to be exported comply with Chinese quality standards (GB 2626-2019 or GB/T 32610-2016) to UPS Customs Brokerage before a shipment pick-up can be placed.

Shippers should ensure that all shipment information provided is accurate and complete for export declaration. UPS will not be responsible for delays or regulatory issues resulting from false declaration of shipments.

For more information on how medical masks and non-medical masks are defined, please refer to this advisory provided by the China Customs.
