Commodity Information 

  • Commodity Description: Enter a description that best defines your commodity.
  • Unit of Measure: Select the unit of measure used to describe one unit of the commodity item (e.g., pieces, dozen, pair).
  • Commodity Weight: Enter the weight of the commodity and indicate how it is calculated. The drop-down menu defaults to As totals. For example, if you are shipping a dozen pair of shoes that weigh 2 lbs. per pair, enter a total weight of 24 lbs. and leave the default calculation of As totals, or enter a per-pair weight of 2 lbs. and select Per unit.
  • Customs Value: Enter the value assigned to the commodity and indicate how it is calculated. The drop-down menu defaults to As totals. For example, if you are shipping a dozen pair of shoes valued at $100 per pair, enter a total value of $1,200 and leave the default calculation of As totals or enter a per-pair value of $100 and select Per unit.

    The customs value is the transactional or sale price for the contents of the shipment if it is being sold. If the shipment is not being sold, the customs value should be the fair market value. The fair market value is the price that a seller would get from a buyer for the contents of the shipment if it were to be sold on the open market. Nominal values are not acceptable for customs and can lead to customs fines and/or seizure of the shipment.
    Note: If you want to convert the value from a foreign currency utilizing the Interbank rate, click the Currency converter icon next to the Customs Value drop-down menu. This tool should be used as a guide only.
  • Country of Manufacture: Select the country where the commodity was originally manufactured or produced.
  • Harmonized Code: Enter the harmonized code for the commodity. If you do not know the harmonized code for your commodity, click Find code. Follow the instructions for finding the harmonized code associated with your commodity. For U.S. exports, the 10-digit code can be either a Harmonized number or the Schedule B Commodity Number.

    Entering a proper harmonized code allows FedEx to help you determine the necessary customs documentation as well as make a more accurate duty and tax estimate. The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System is an international standardized system developed and maintained by the World Customs Organization (WCO) to uniformly classify traded products.
  • Export license Number and Expiration Date: To display these fields, click Additional commodity information (optional) then enter the export license number and its expiration date (MMDDYYYY). An export license is a government document authorizing the export of specific goods from a particular origin country in specific quantities to a particular destination.

Delete a Commodity

Select the commodity from the Commodity Summary, and click Delete. The commodity will be removed from your shipment.

Save/Update a Commodity

Select Save/Update Commodity Profile to save a new or updated commodity in your commodity database. Please note that to manage your Commodity Profiles Database, you should click the Manage profiles link located at the top of the Commodity Summary. You can add up to 500 commodities to your database.

Adjust the Shipment Weight and Total Carriage Value

In the Total Shipment Details section, the Total Weight and Total Carriage Value fields reflect the information you entered in the Package & Shipment Details section. Please note that the total weight of all commodities shown in the Commodity Summary must not be greater than the total weight of the shipment.

Customs Documentation

Customs documentation is important for clearing an international shipment through applicable customs authorities. It enables them to accurately identify the contents of a shipment, determine the appropriate duty and taxes and apply any customs controls that may be applicable to the goods being imported.
Documents generated by FedEx may be required for your shipment and are generated based on the shipment information you provide, such as origin and destination countries and the nature of the contents. Customs document requirements vary by country as each has its own specific rules and regulations regarding the importation of various commodities.
The shipper is responsible for determining and completing customs documents. For assistance in determining the customs documents necessary to accompany your shipping label, hover over the question mark that appears next to the document name for the document’s description.

Customs Documents


View the ETD Demo to Learn More
The following Customs Documents are the most commonly used for international shipments.
  • Commercial Invoice
    The Commercial Invoice is the most common document required for clearing your shipments through customs. It is typically required for shipments of non-document commodities, but this varies by country, size, weight, quantity and value. Refer to Commercial Invoice for FedEx Express® and FedEx Ground® international requirements.
    If you want to create a Commercial Invoice online in FedEx Ship Manager®, follow the steps below. For additional help, go to FedEx International Documentation® or call FedEx International Customer Services at 1.800.GoFedEx 1.800.463.3339 for information. Your own commercial invoice is the preferred format if it contains specific information. FedEx can provide a form you can copy onto your letterhead.
    To create a Commercial Invoice Online:
    1. Select Create Commercial Invoice Online.
    2. Verify the Terms of Sale, the point at which sellers have fulfilled their obligations so the goods are said to have been delivered to the buyer. The drop-down menu will default to Free Carrier (FCA/FOB).
    3. Click Additional invoice information to enter additional optional shipment charges, special instructions and reference information to print on the Commercial Invoice. Please note that the additional charges entered in these optional fields are charges added by the sender and are not related to FedEx charges.
    4. Print the required number of copies, sign each one, and place all copies behind the shipping label in the clear plastic pouch. The customs authorities in each destination country determine how many copies of the shipping document, including the Legal Terms and Conditions, are required. The number also varies by origin country.
    When Electronic Trade Document (ETD) is enabled in Preferences, you are required to select a method of completion for the Commercial Invoice. The completion options include:
    1. Use my own: Select this option if your Commercial Invoice is saved on your computer. The following file types are currently supported: .doc, .xls, .txt, .rtf, .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .tif; .png, and .pdf.
    2. Attach from Document Preparation Center: Select this option if you have saved your Commercial Invoice in the Document Preparation Center.
    3. Use FedEx-generated document: Select this option if you would like FedEx Ship Manager to create your Commercial Invoice. Include the same commodity details as you would on your own Business Commercial Invoice system.
  • Pro Forma Invoice
    A Pro Forma Invoice is provided by a supplier prior to the shipment of merchandise. The invoice informs the buyer of the kinds and quantities of goods to be sent, their value, and any specifications (weight, size, etc.). A Pro Forma Invoice is often used as an offer to sell or is used to apply for a letter of credit or import permit.

    When Electronic Trade Document (ETD) is enabled in Preferences, you are required to select a method of completion for the Pro Forma Invoice. The completion options include:
    1. Use my own: Select this option if your Pro Forma Invoice is saved on your computer. The following file types are currently supported: .doc, .xls, .txt, .rtf, .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .tif; .png, and .pdf.
    2. Attach from Document Preparation Center: Select this option if you have saved your Pro Forma Invoice in the Document Preparation Center.
    3. Use FedEx-generated document: Select this option if you would like FedEx Ship Manager to create your Pro Forma Invoice.

Terms of Sale

The Terms of Sale are the point at which the seller has fulfilled their obligations and the goods are said to have been delivered to the buyer.
  • Free Carrier (FCA/FOB): Free Carrier at a named port of export. The seller quotes the buyer a price that covers all costs up to and including delivery of goods aboard an overseas vessel (e.g. airplane).
  • Carriage Insurance Paid (CIP/CIF): Carriage Insurance Paid to a named overseas port of disembarkation (i.e. import). The seller quotes a price for the goods including insurance plus all transportation and miscellaneous charges to the point of disembarkation from the vessel.
  • Carriage Paid To (CPT/C&F): Carriage Paid To is the named overseas port of disembarkation (i.e. import). The seller quotes a price for the goods that includes the cost of transportation to the named point of import. The cost of insurance is left to the buyer's account.
  • Ex Works (EXW): The price quoted applies only at the point of origin and the seller agrees to place the goods at the disposal of the buyer at a specific place for a specific period of time. All other charges are to be assumed by the buyer.
  • Delivered at Place (DAP): The seller delivers the goods when they are placed at the disposal of the buyer on the arriving means of transport ready for unloading at the named place of destination. Parties are advised to specify as clearly as possible the point within the agreed place of destination, because risks transfer at this point from seller to buyer.
  • Delivered at Terminal (DAT): The seller delivers when the goods, once unloaded from the arriving means of transport, are placed at the disposal of the buyer at a named terminal, port, or place of destination. ‘Terminal’ includes quay (wharf), warehouse, container yard or road, rail or air terminal. Both parties should agree on the terminal and if possible a point within the terminal where the risks will transfer from the seller to the buyer.
  • Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU): The seller fulfills his obligation to deliver when the goods have been made available at the named place. The seller bears the costs and risks involved in bringing the goods to that place but not the costs and risks of clearing customs.
  • Delivered Duty Paid (DDP): The seller fulfills his obligation to deliver when the goods have been made available at the named place in the country of importation. The seller has to bear the risks and costs -- including duties, taxes and other charges -- of delivering the goods.

Importer of Record

If the recipient is not the Importer of Record, click The Recipient is not the Importer of Record and enter the required information. The Importer of Record is the party identified to customs or other regulatory agencies for clearance as the importer of an international shipment. Generally, the Importer of Record is the recipient.
Note: For U.S. shippers, the Customs Tax ID is your Employer Identification Number if you are a corporation, partnership or sole proprietor. If you are an individual shipper, enter your Social Security Number. The Customs Tax ID may also be referred to as an IRS number, an Employer Federal Identification Number or a payroll tax number. For shippers from all other countries, this number refers to your Tax Identification Number.

Electronic Export Information (EEI)

Electronic Export Information (EEI), formerly known as Shipper's Export Declaration (SED), is used for compiling official U.S. export statistics and to enforce U.S. export laws. Keep copies of all relevant documents related to your EEI filing for at least 5 years from the date of export (if other regulatory agencies have recordkeeping requirements that exceed this, then those requirements prevail). Refer to EEI Tools and Information for more information.

EEI requirements

EEI filing is required for certain export shipments from the U.S, Puerto Rico or the U.S. Virgin Islands when a shipment contains any single commodity that is valued greater than US $2,500, when it requires an export license or permit, or when it is subject to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Refer to About EEI for detailed requirement information.

Step 5: Enter your user ID and password to gain access to the AES Direct application. The sender, recipient and commodity information will transfer from FedEx Ship Manager into AES Direct.
Step 6: Complete the other required information and then click Check and Send. A "SUCCESS" message will pop up when the EEI has is successfully submitted, but wait for AES to return the Internal Transaction Number (ITN) before returning to FedEx Ship Manager. The ITN will be returned via email or you can use the RETRIEVE feature in AES Direct to get the ITN.
Step 7: Once you receive the ITN, return to FedEx Ship Manager and select Pre-Departure ITN in the AES citation type dropdown.
Step 8: In the rare event that the government’s AES system is down for any extended period of time and you are unable to receive your ITN in a timely manner to complete your shipping transaction and AES has advised that the Downtime citations can be used, you may select AES Downtime in the AES citation type dropdown and enter the AES Downtime Citation instead of the Pre-Departure ITN in the AES citation field. However, the EEI filing must be completed and an ITN returned as soon as AES is up and running again. The AES Downtime Citation is entered in this format “AESDOWN NNNNNNNNNXX MM/DD/YYYY” (NNNNNNNNNXX = EIN + suffix , MM/DD/YYYY = Date of Departure). Refer to AES Citation Types and Formats below for more information.
Step 9: If you skipped steps 3-8 and your company has been granted Post Departure privileges, choose Post Departure for your AES citation type.
Step 10: In the AES citation field enter the Post Departure Citation in this format “AESPOST NNNNNNNNNXX MM/DD/YYYY” (NNNNNNNNNXX = EIN + SUFFIX, MM/DD/YYYY = Date of Departure). Refer to AES Citation Types and Formats below for more information.

One email confirms that FedEx has received your EEI record and provides a Shipment Reference # (SRN) for that submission. A second email with the ITN will be sent later after the record is submitted from FedEx to AES and FedEx receives back the ITN from AES.
Step 5: When you have the ITN, return back to FedEx Ship Manager and select Pre-Departure ITN in the AES citation type dropdown.
Step 6: Enter the ITN in the AES citation field.

Step 5: When all required information is complete for both the EEI section and the shipment, click Ship to continue.

No EEI/SED is required

Select No EEI/SED is required if your shipment does not require an EEI based on an FTR (Foreign Trade Regulations) exemption (for U.S. export shipping only).
