Ship&co now automatically generates Customs Power of Attorney (Customs Clearance Authorization Letter) for Export, for Japan Post International shipments with declared amounts exceeding 200,000 yen.
 

What is the Customs Power of Attorney?

The Customs Power of Attorney is a required document that shows customs brokers are authorized to handle customs procedures on behalf of the client (exporter/importer). In cases where a customer’s declaration is required, if you wish Japan Post Co., Ltd. to act as your agent for customs procedures, it is necessary to submit a customs power of attorney.
 

Auto-Generation Conditions

Generation Condition: When the Japan Post International shipment declared amount exceeds 200,000 yen 
※ The document is generated automatically when the amount exceeds (not equals or less) 200,000 yen
 

Using Ship&co App

Steps:

  1. Create a Japan Post International shipping label with a declared amount exceeding 200,000 yen
  2. On the “Shipments” screen, click the downward arrow next to “Label”.
  3. Select "Customs Power of Attorney"
  4. Print out the PDF file

The Customs Power of Attorney can be easily accessed from the Shipments page, just like shipping labels.

Please be sure to read the "terms of customs clearance for the postal items that you intend to export" (available only in Japanese).
 

Using Ship&co API Integration

When using the Ship&co API, the Customs Power of Attorney PDF URL will be automatically added to the shipment creation response, similar to how label URLs are provided.
