AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I set up international shipping with International Shipping?
International Shipping helps you configure cross-border orders on major platforms by establishing HS code assignments, calculating landed costs, and integrating with carriers. Start by assigning HS codes to your product catalog for tariff classification, then set up duties and taxes calculation so customers see the full landed cost at checkout. Configure your shipping zones, select DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) or DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) terms, and connect to customs brokers and fulfillment partners to automate the workflow.
What are HS codes and how does International Shipping help assign them?
HS codes (Harmonized System codes) are standardized product classifications used for tariff and duty calculation across borders. International Shipping streamlines HS code assignment and tariff classification by letting you map products to the correct codes, which then feed into duty calculations. Proper classification ensures accurate landed cost quotes and prevents customs delays. The skill guides you through bulk assignment workflows and validation to ensure compliance.
How can International Shipping show customers landed cost at checkout?
International Shipping integrates landed cost calculation into your checkout flow so customers see duties, taxes, and shipping fees upfront before purchase. By combining HS code data, destination country rules, and carrier rates, the skill calculates the true delivered price. Displaying this transparently reduces cart abandonment and prevents post-purchase disputes over hidden fees, especially for DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms where you absorb duties.
How does International Shipping block restricted and prohibited items?
International Shipping screens your product catalog against destination country restrictions and prohibited item lists. Configure rules by country or region to automatically block checkout for restricted goods, flag high-risk shipments for review, and prevent fulfillment of non-compliant orders. This reduces customs seizures, return costs, and legal exposure when shipping internationally.
Can International Shipping generate customs forms and declarations automatically?
Yes, International Shipping automates customs form and declaration generation for cross-border orders. Once you've assigned HS codes and configured product data, the skill generates required customs documentation—such as commercial invoices and CN22/CN23 forms—directly from order data. This reduces manual paperwork, speeds customs clearance, and minimizes delays caused by incomplete or incorrect declarations.
What's the difference between DDP and DDU shipping in International Shipping?
International Shipping supports both DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) and DDU (Delivered Duty Unpaid) terms. Under DDP, you collect duties upfront at checkout and handle customs clearance, so customers pay the full landed cost before delivery. Under DDU, customers pay duties upon delivery. International Shipping calculates landed costs for both models and helps you configure checkout messaging and carrier integration accordingly.

International Shipping
Overview
International shipping requires more than just choosing a carrier — you need to handle customs declarations, duties and taxes (showing customers the landed cost at checkout prevents nasty surprises), HS code classification for each product, and screening for items that are prohibited in certain countries. Getting this wrong leads to packages stuck in customs, unexpected bills delivered to customers, and damaged brand reputation.
