Shipments and labels

It is not possible to delete shipments in the Smart Send system once a label is booked.The booking data is sent immediately to the carriers and hence we cannot delete it afterwards. Note however that usually only actually shipped packages are invoiced by the carrier, so unused labels you have booked will not cost you anything.
If you have booked an Ad hoc pickup, you need to cancel the pickup separately with the carrier.
Each carrier has their own accepted length of both receivers name and street address.Smart Send will show you a message if the input does not match the carriers specific rules. Please adjust the order and then book the label again.
The labels are created by the carriers themselves, Smart Send only handles the data transfer to the carrier and has no control over the layout of the label itself.This means the carriers decide what is the correct amount of text and how to print it on the label.

Customs and international

VOEC (VAT On E-Commerce) numbers are unique identifiers issued by the Norwegian Tax Administration to businesses selling low-value goods to consumers in Norway. The VOEC scheme allows foreign sellers and online marketplaces to collect and remit Norwegian VAT at the point of sale, simplifying customs clearance and ensuring compliance with Norwegian tax regulations.Providing your VOEC number to Smart Send is important because it enables the correct declaration of your shipments to Norway. When you include your VOEC number, customs authorities can process your parcels more efficiently, reducing the risk of delays or additional charges for your customers.See how you add a VOEC customs number to your Smart Send account here.
Incoterms (International Commercial Terms) are standardized trade terms published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that define the responsibilities of buyers and sellers for the delivery of goods in international transactions. They clarify who is responsible for shipping, insurance, import duties, and other logistics.In ecommerce, the most relevant Incoterms are DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) and DAP (Delivered at Place):
  • DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): The seller is responsible for all costs and risks, including shipping, insurance, and import duties, until the goods reach the buyer’s address. The buyer receives the goods without paying additional customs charges.
  • DAP (Delivered at Place): The seller delivers the goods to the destination, but the buyer is responsible for import duties and taxes upon arrival. The buyer may need to pay customs charges before receiving the shipment.
Choosing DDP as the Incoterm means the customer pays all costs upfront and will not face additional charges at delivery, which improves conversion by providing a smoother buying experience.
Special Drawing Rights (SDR) are international reserve assets created by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to supplement member countries’ official reserves. SDRs, introduced in 1969, are not a currency but represent a potential claim on freely usable currencies of IMF members, with their value determined by a basket of major currencies. SDRs help bolster reserve positions, facilitate currency exchanges, and aid in debt repayment. The table below provides the approximate exchange rate of 1 SDR and the value of 300 SDR in various currencies.

US Dollar (USD)1.41~400 USD

Harmonized Tariff Codes (HS Codes) are international product classification codes used by customs authorities worldwide to identify and categorize goods for import/export purposes. The HS system provides a standardized way to classify products, enabling accurate duty calculation and trade statistics.Structure of HS Codes:
  • Chapter (2 digits): Broad category of the product
  • Heading (2 digits): Sub-category within the chapter
  • Subheading (2 digits): Specific type of the product within the heading
  • Tariff Item (2-4 digits): Detailed product classification (varies by country)
Example: A laptop computer might be classified as HS code 8471.30.01.00:
  • Chapter 84: Nuclear reactors, boilers, machinery and mechanical appliances
  • Heading 8471: Automatic data processing machines and units thereof
  • Subheading 8471.30: Portable automatic data processing machines, weighing not more than 10 kg
  • Tariff Item 8471.30.01.00: Laptop computers
HS codes are essential for international shipping as they determine applicable duties, taxes, and regulatory requirements for your products.For more details, see the official WCO HS Nomenclature 2022 Edition.
