Items Tab

If you are processing an international shipment on the Warehouse page, you must complete the Items tab. The information you supply on this tab is printed on the documents that will accompany the shipment.

The boxes on the Items tab need to be completed once for each commodity being included in the shipment. For example, if you are shipping three boxes of 12 hats, you need to complete the Items tab only once because there is only one commodity in the shipment - hats. If you are shipping one box of manuals and lanyards, you would need to complete the boxes on the Items tab twice - once for the manuals, and once for the lanyards.

Note: The Producer tab is for entering information about the primary producer of the goods being shipped internationally (for example, this can be the product manufacturer of record, etc.)
To supply line-item information for an international shipment, specify values for the fields on the following subtabs of the Items tab:
