The parcel platform supports rate shopping across FedEx, UPS, and USPS. Carrier availability and service options can vary by destination, package characteristics, and the shipping accounts connected to your dashboard. Reviewing the displayed choices at the time of booking is important because each carrier may offer different transit services, pricing structures, and destination coverage for a particular international shipment.

A shipping rate and import charges are not always the same thing. Duties, taxes, customs fees, and other destination-country charges may be assessed separately depending on the goods, declared value, origin, and local regulations. Before shipping internationally, confirm the destination’s customs requirements and determine whether the shipment will be sent with duties paid by the sender or recipient.

Accurate rates require the origin and destination addresses, package weight, package dimensions, and shipment details. International shipments may also require a description of goods, quantity, declared value, country of origin, and other customs information. Entering complete and accurate package details is essential because carrier charges can change when dimensional weight, address details, or shipment information differs from the booking.

Start by comparing available carrier rates for every shipment rather than relying on a single default carrier. Use accurate dimensions to avoid preventable dimensional-weight adjustments, choose a service level that matches the required delivery timeframe, and compare your existing carrier account rates with negotiated platform rates. Consolidated visibility into carrier choices and shipping spend also helps identify recurring cost-saving opportunities.
