Latest Updates
USPS Harmonized System (HS) Code update for International Shipments
To comply with USPS regulations, the format for Harmonized System (HS) Tariff Codes, used for international shipments, has been updated. HS codes are required on customs forms (2976 CN22 and 2976-A/2976-B CP72) and must be included with item descriptions to ensure smooth customs clearance.
When creating a USPS shipment, the HS code must now meet specific validation rules:
- It must be between 6 and 12 characters, including periods (.).
- If the code is too short or too long, an error message, “Invalid HS code,” will appear below the input field.
To help users find the correct code, an info icon will appear next to the HS code field. Clicking it will direct users to the USPS Harmonized Tariff Schedule website, where they can search for the appropriate HS code based on the item being shipped.
Firmware update alert for PitneyShip Cube users
To help clients stay up to date, we've added a feature that alerts users when their PitneyShip Cube firmware version is outdated. This alert appears in red on the PitneyShip Cube Dashboard and includes the message: “Update required. Learn more.” It will only show if the firmware version is older than V01.30_PBS_062624.
If a user has multiple PitneyShip Cubes, the alert will still appear as long as at least one PitneyShip Cube has an outdated firmware version. Once all PitneyShip Cubes are updated, the alert will automatically disappear.
Enhanced FedEx carrier pickup capabilities
We've improved the FedEx carrier pickup process to give users more flexibility and control. Users can now choose to schedule pickups for all shipments or limit their selection to those created within the past seven days. Additionally, shipments can be searched and selected using tracking numbers during the pickup scheduling process.
Pickup time slots are now displayed based on FedEx’s availability, allowing users to choose the most convenient option. A new Schedule Pickup button has also been added to the Shipment History screen, making it easy to schedule a pickup directly from individual shipment records.
Packing Slip visual enhancements
We have updated the Packing Slip layout to improve visibility of contents and enhance image quality.
