Filing FedEx International Documents Electronically

The General section includes the following fields:

Value: - By default, this field will be populated with the sum of the line item(s) values of the selected order.

Contents: Documents only - Check this field if the shipment contains only documents.

Recipient Tax ID: - Can be used to enter the recipient's tax ID when required.

B13A Filing Option: - When required, this field can be used to specify how B13A filing is being handled. When Filed Electronically is selected, ShipWorks only sends notification that the B13A filing was handled electronically. B13A filing will need to be handled outside of the ShipWorks software.

Per FedEx:

If MANUALLY_ATTACHED is specified, your manually filed B13A must be time and date stamped at a Canada Customs office before you ship. The shipment-status tracking number must be indicated on the stamped B13A. One original copy of the stamped B13A must be attached to the shipping documentation. You are not required to enter the 21-character B13A transaction number at the time of shipping.

If FILED_ELECTRONICALLY is specified, your B13A authorization code must be obtained by submitting your B13A information using the CAED software. To add the required shipment-status tracking number to your B13A declaration, return to the CAED software after you create your shipping label.

AES/EEI Exemption: - When required, your exemption information can be entered here.

Admissibility Packaging: When required, you can select the type of packaging be used for this shipment. By default, Box is selected.

The Contents Section is used to declare the contents of the international shipment. By default, ShipWorks will populate the fields in this section from the line item(s) information of the order. You have the ability to modify line items, add items or to remove items from the Contents section.

Notes Regarding the Contents Section

1. The dollar amount entered into the Value: fields for each declared item will be summed and updated in the Value: field of the General section of the Customs tab.

For Example: You have declared that there are two T-shirts valued at $10 each and one Hat valued at $10.00. The Value: field in the General section will automatically show $30. (2 T-shirts at $10 plus 1 Hat at $10 = $30)

2. The weight of all declared items will be summed and updated in the Weight: field of the Shipment Details section of the Service tab.

For Example: You have declared that there are two T-shirts weighing 1 pound each and one Hat weighing .5 pound. The Weight: field in the Shipment Details section will automatically show 2.5 pounds.
