The table below lists all dangerous goods data fields that UPS WorldShip® can import.
Notes:
Dangerous Goods is available only if you have a contract for this service.
Use only a Western character set to create records for an import file. If you use any other character set to create the field names and data in a record, the import will fail for that record.
If you use Character Map (a Windows function) to insert special characters into the data that you plan to import, use only characters that belong to the Windows Western character set. If you use another character set, the characters are converted to the Windows Western character set and may not appear as you want.
Table Legend:
The Length column indicates the maximum number of characters that you can type for the field.
The Type column indicates A for alphabetic characters, N for numeric characters and S for special characters (such as, press the Shift and 4 keys to type $). For example, A/N/S means that you can type alphabetic, numeric and special characters.
The I/E column indicates if the field applies to import (I), export (E) or both import and export (I/E) maps.
The Exceptions and Notes column provides additional information; such as valid values, field formats or links to additional information.
