When shipping to a country subject to customs duties, the shipper must provide certain documents with a shipment, depending on the shipment's contents, the value of the goods, and the destination country. With Shipcloud, you can create the customs declaration for multiple carriers in addition to the shipping label.
With Shipcloud you can create the customs declaration CN23 for DHL, DHL Express and PARCEL.ONE together with the shipping label and the customs declaration CN22 for Deutsche Post. For UPS it is also possible to create the commercial invoice via Shipcloud.
