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, Electronic Export Information (EEI), Certificate of Origin (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 Electronic Export Information (EEI):

  2. Click the down arrow in the Filing Method box and select a method, as follows:

  3. Select EEI Already Filed if you do not file EEIs electronically and you print EEIs using another tool. If you select this option, the EEI tab will not appear on the Customs Documentation tab in the Shipping window.

  4. Select EEI Not Required if you are not required to file an EEI with the US Census Bureau.

  5. Select File EEI using AES Direct to use the Automated Export System (AES) to file an EEI electronically with the US Census Bureau prior to shipment departure.

  6. Select UPS will file EEI to generate EEIs using WorldShip.

  7. Select File EEI Post Departure to use the AES to file an EEI electronically with the US Census Bureau after shipment 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 EEI tab will not appear on the Customs Documentation tab in the Shipping window.

  8. If you selected the UPS will file EEI filing method, type the number of copies you want to generate in the Number of Copies to Print box.

    Note: This box is not available for other filing methods.

  1. Choose how you want to handle Certificates of Origin (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. If you do not want to generate 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. Depending on the contracts available, the Paperless and Printed options may appear for small package, Air Freight, or both small package and Air Freight.

    Note:
    The Lane Preferences button appears only if you have a contract for Paperless Invoices.

  2. Select the Save/Update Commodities check box to have the Save/Update Commodities on the Customs Documentation tab default as selected. Unselecting this check box on the Customs Documentation tab will only apply to the shipment being created at the time of selection.

  3. Select the Automatic Duties/Taxes Estimate check box to automatically receive estimates for international shipments in History.

    Tip:
    The estimated duties and taxes are saved in Shipment History, and the Duties and Taxes button in the Shipment History window becomes active only if you select this check box prior to processing the shipment with the selected shipper number.
