What a UPS World Ease® movement consists of...
A UPS World Ease® movement consists of two or more international shipments destined to the same import country (same port of entry) for final distribution to different locations within that country or to different countries within the European Union.
Each UPS World Ease® movement must contain a UPS World Ease® summary shipment or 'doc box' package which houses the documentation for all of the child shipments within the UPS World Ease® movement. Because of this, the 'doc box' package is considered the lead package of the UPS World Ease® movement.
In summary, each UPS World Ease® movement contains two or more child shipments and also must contain the 'doc box' package (the 'doc box' package is processed automatically by Parcel when you close a UPS World Ease® movement, you do not have to ship the 'doc box' package in Parcel).
Each UPS World Ease® movement is identified by a master shipment ID or GCCN. This 11-character alphanumeric ID appears on the label for the 'doc box' package and every package within every child shipment of that movement.
Destination of Child Shipments
The child shipments within a movement must all be destined to the same country unless they are all destined to European Union countries. See below for details...
If... |
Then... |
All of the child shipments within the movement are destined to countries within the European Union |
The UPS World Ease® movement containing these child shipments is shipped to a single port of entry in the European Union where it clears customs. The UPS World Ease® movement containing many child shipments is cleared as one inbound European Union shipment. This is known as UPS European Union Consolidated Clearance (EUCC). After the movement clears customs, the child shipments are then distributed to their respective European Union country destinations. |
The child shipments within the movement are not all destined to countries within the European Union |
They must all be destined to the same country (which does not have to be a European Union country). The movement is shipped to a single port of entry in the destination country where it clears customs as one inbound shipment. This is known as Consolidated Customs Clearance. After the movement clears customs, the child shipments are then distributed to their respective destinations within that same country. |
Because of this rule, it makes sense to group child shipments which are destined to countries within the European Union together into one UPS World Ease® movement.

Label Procedure
The 4x11" label is perforated at six inches. You must detach the bottom five-inch portion of the label and re-adhere it over the address information at the top of the 4x6 portion of the label (this is now called the 'overlabel'). The reason that you cover the address information at the top of the label is because that address is the final destination of the shipment (not the port of entry address). The bottom five-inch portion of the label contains the port of entry information. When the shipment reaches the port of entry, the UPS Customs official removes the overlabel with the port of entry information on it that you adhered over the address information (the label material is designed so that the removal of the overlabel will not damage the label underneath). Instructions for the shipper and for the UPS Customs official for this label procedure are included on the bottom five-inch portion of the label.
