UPS Declaration Statements
For users that send shipments with UPS, we have introduced the ability to configure which declaration statement is included on the commercial invoice. On the UPS customer account, users will be able to select; STANDARD, EEA, GB PREFERTIAL ORIGIN. The associated statements are as follows:
STANDARD (Default): "I hereby certify that the information on this invoice is true and correct and the contents and value of this shipment is as stated above"
EEA: "The exporter of the products covered by this document declares that except where otherwise clearly indicated these products are of EEA preferential origin."
GB PREFERENTIAL ORIGIN: "The exporter of the products covered by this document declares that except where otherwise clearly indicated these products are of GB preferential origin."
