Freight Commodity Data Field Descriptions

The table below lists all freight commodity data fields that UPS WorldShip can import or export.

Notes:

• 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 fails 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 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.
