Customs Configurations: Automate Compliance and Ship Internationally With Confidence
International shipping creates opportunity, but it also comes with rules, requirements, and inconsistent expectations across regions and carriers. When customs declarations are incomplete, inaccurate, or formatted incorrectly, shipments get delayed, held, returned, or rejected.
Most warehouses solve this manually, order by order, which slows fulfillment and increases risk of costly mistakes.
Customs Configurations in Warehance gives you precise control over how customs forms are generated so every international shipment leaves your warehouse accurate, compliant, and ready to clear border checks without intervention.
Automate Customs Accuracy at Scale
Instead of manually correcting product values, descriptions, or missing fields during packing, Customs Configurations lets you define exactly how declarations should be structured and where data should come from.
- Flexible Field Hierarchy
Assign primary, secondary, and tertiary data sources so declarations are always complete, even when individual fields are missing. - Smart Value Logic
Control how product values are calculated based on stored data, accounting rules, or compliance requirements. - Automatic Weight Distribution
When exact product weights are unavailable, Warehance calculates proportional weight distribution across items to satisfy carrier and customs requirements.
Once configured, these rules apply consistently across all shipments without additional work.
Built to Match Your Business Rules
Every business has different needs and compliance requirements, especially when handling multiple clients or product lines. Customs Configurations is flexible by design so you can manage it at the level that makes sense.
- Organization-Wide Defaults
Create a standard baseline for all international orders. - Client or Product Overrides
Apply unique declarations for clients, brands, product types, or marketplaces. - Order-Level Adjustments
Refine individual shipments when edge cases or exceptions occur.
This structure gives you control exactly where you need it without forcing teams to create workarounds or manual edits.
Compliance Built In
Customs Configurations is more than a formatting tool. It is a compliance framework.
- Tariff and Origin Assignment
Configure harmonized tariff codes and origin settings that stay consistent and auditable. - Export Rules and Thresholds
Define EEL or PFC requirements and enforce non-delivery instructions automatically based on shipment value or destination. - Multi-Currency Support
Ensure declarations use the correct currency for each country without conversion errors.
These controls help prevent violations, delays, or audits caused by incorrect or incomplete documentation.
