You mentioned to Tyler on the weekly chat that..
'Customs invoice does not include Country of Origin, Unit Weight, HS Code, Quantity, Currency.'
What are you referring to as the customs invoice? The label that I did today did have an area for the country of origin, unit weight and currency. Were you referring to something else?
I did notice that the unit weigh didn't actually carry over to the printed label. The total weight of the package that I had entered was the only weight that was showing. I doubt that it really matters though.
Whenever I've done some exploring with eBay Labels I've always seen metric. That issue could be simply a clear cookies/cache issue to correct.
It appears some "tinkering" has been done to customs form with eBay Labels. HS code, Country of Origin have been added.
The invoice we get with CP/Shippo/PayPal/eBay Labels are all stripped down versions of universally accepted customs forms. Technically it is a legal document. This is why it is never recommended to describe as gift or use a creative number for value. Value is based on what the transaction documented. Customs can always modify if they disagree.
Regarding methodology for item weight: Standard is.... Item weight(Before packaging) then system does the extending. Universal standard system. Similar to math for prices. It's unit price not total price. Sample included is for basic reference purposes. If total unit(s) weight is more than inputted actual package weight you will receive an error message.
Same goes for info porting over from the listing to eBay Labels. In most cases it will need to be manually updated. Often the country of origin for goods is included in the original listing(Those nasty Item Specifics). This has never ported over to any of the current options. System automatically displays Canada for even Shippo.
Default for currency of example displays as CAD.
Is it possible to create eBay labels from a dot com sale and show transaction details in USD?
Currency needs to match in all applicable fields.
With Shippo you can modify currency when necessary. (See example)
(Note: With Shippo required format for HS is still ######. When it populates to form it updates to ####.## . eBay Labels has it correct.)
Re: Packing Slip
Packing slip that is included with eBay Labels still omits Pricing with extension, Taxes - US/VAT & Shipping along with buyer and seller phone number/email address. Similar to the eBay Label tool. This info would need to port to any printed documents so customs could scan label to view. That was the reasoning behind CP obsoleting the CN022 manual form and requiring either a generated customs invoice or the alternative, using the online form. Reason for including a complete packing slip is a requirement for many international countries/postal systems to confirm that the order matches the customs invoice.
