Changes and updates in the Nova Post API

To facilitate the creation and updating of International Express Waybills (IEW) from Ukraine via the Client API, a new parameter has been introduced to specify the party responsible for customs duty payments.

Available parameter values:

• ThirdPerson
• Sender 
• Recipient 

The option for the sender to pay customs duties depends on the destination country's regulations. A dedicated method has been provided to check if someone other than the recipient can pay customs duties in a specific country, and to determine the maximum shipment value (in the destination currency) for which the sender is eligible to pay.

• Mandatory Requirement: If the destination country allows the sender to pay duties, providing this parameter is mandatory when creating or updating a waybill.
• Default Behavior: If the parameter is not provided, the Client API will default the payer to the Recipient.
• Value Threshold: If the total shipment value exceeds the maximum threshold allowed for sender payment, the Recipient will automatically be designated as the payer.

International Shipping from Ukraine

Customs Duty Calculation by Payer

Customs duties may vary depending on the payer’s country. A new field has been added to the shipping calculator, allowing you to specify the payer: the receiver, the sender, or a third party. The duty amount will now be calculated based on the selected party responsible for the payment.

Streamlined Tax Calculation Parameters

We have removed redundant parameters to simplify tax calculation. Tax details and the total value field are now conveniently located within a single block.

Technical information regarding updates to shipping rate calculation methods for shipments from Ukraine

Users can now specify the currency for each item in an invoice when exporting goods from Ukraine abroad. This allows customs documents to be correctly generated in accordance with the actual currency of sale. If the currency is not specified, UAH is used by default.

A new Webhook feature has been added, allowing you to:

1. 1
   GET /tracking-push/subscribers
   
   Get a list of all subscriptions associated with the client
2. 2
   POST /tracking-push/subscribers
   
   Create a new subscription and receive tracking notifications. There are different types of subscriptions, such as individual or corporate, and they are necessary for customers who want to receive real-time updates on the status of their shipment.
3. 3
   PUT /tracking-push/subscribers/{id}
   
   Update existing subscription details such as callback URL, activation status, event types, etc. This is necessary to change subscription settings for customers who want to control how they receive tracking notifications.
4. 4
