New fields: customerNumber and packingType in the shipment creation method
The new fields, customerNumber та packingType, in the shipment creation method are involved in the automated invoice generation for international parcels.
Field Description
- 1customerNumber — this is a unique identifier for the invoice. The identifier helps expedite the customs clearance process by establishing a clear link between the goods and their documentation.
- Invoice for International Parcel Shipping
This is a commercial document that contains detailed information about the shipment's contents and is required for declaring goods crossing borders.
The invoice is used by customs authorities to inspect the cargo, calculate duties, and ensure compliance with import and export regulations. It is a mandatory document for the legal import or export of goods, as it helps prevent illegal trade and ensures proper payment of taxes and fees.
- 1packingType — this field indicates the type of shipment packaging (e.g., box or pallet). It is essential for correctly processing shipments within Nova Post and for calculating shipping costs.
The field must contain a specific code that indicates the type of packaging. The allowed values are:- 1.1PA: Box
- 1.2PX: Pallet
When creating an international shipment ID, these fields must be completed along with other key data used for automatic invoice generation. The data from these fields is automatically included in the invoice without manual intervention.
