Explore the requirements for printing labels outside of Zonos Dashboard.
Follow this checklist to ensure your Zonos landed cost quoted orders are guaranteed and remain tax compliant when you are printing labels outside of Zonos Dashboard.
Order information must be passed to Zonos for reconciliation and the
remittance process on your behalf. If you are using a Zonos plugin, this
information will already be present. If you are using an API integration, you
will need to ensure that all the order
details
are passed to Zonos. It is also necessary that the tracking number is updated
to the order details once the label has been created. See our user guide on
submitting
tracking
information to learn more. You will also need to update any order changes as
well. If the item details have been changed, or the order has been cancelled,
you will need to update the order with that information as well to ensure
accurate billing to you, the merchant, and prevent overpayment of duty and tax
to the collecting country or carrier.
A package must not only ship DDP, but you must be able to bill duties and
taxes (not shipping charges) to a 3rd party account. This is what allows Zonos
to be billed for any duty and tax charges onto our carrier account. If this
does not happen, you could be billed by Zonos for the duty and tax as well as
billed by the carrier when shipping DDP. Note: Zonos' account number(s) and
tax ids should be omitted on shipments that were not quoted by Zonos. If a
carrier bill is received for a non-Zonos quoted order, the Duty/Tax amount
plus fees will be billed back to you.
All Zonos quoted orders must be for shipping methods that support 3rd party
billing. Learn more which
carriers
and
3PL’s
are supported.
Zonos must verify that a completed label not only bills duty and taxes back to
Zonos, but that the commercial invoice and label contain the correct
information based on the ship to location. For example, you must be able to
add the Zonos UK Vat ID to the commercial invoice to ensure proper clearance
and compliance into the UK. See a list of the labels and commercial invoices
needed for verification below:
The above steps can be bypassed if using a Zonos-approved shipping
partner
or platform. These steps have already been completed and will ensure complete
compliance.
Once you have confirmed the above information, or have questions about any of
the above requirements, contact your Zonos support representative. They will
need to verify the above info and make the necessary internal adjustments
before approval is given.
An updated agreement will be sent out from Zonos for you to approve the yearly
1000 USD service charge when shipping outside the Zonos Dashboard. Once
signed, the Zonos team will send a verification email letting you know you
have been approved and you are ready to print your Zonos quoted orders outside
the Zonos Dashboard. This process should only take 3-4 days if the above
checklist has been completed, test labels are ready for verification and we
have received the signed agreement.
