In order to support international shipping we have added several fields. These fields dynamically appear in the carrier specific section for UPS when you select an international country.

• Customs Currency – The currency of customs value. Currently supported currencies are USD, EUR, CAD, GBP, CHF, AUD, JPY with default USD. If you want to add a new currency or change the default, you can do it by customizing the RS_Ship__Shipment__c.RS_Ship__Customs_Currency__c field.
• Customs Value – The total value of all items in the shipment. Determines how much import duty the package recipient must pay. Customs value must be numeral value without decimals.
• Delivery Confirmation – for international shipping this field must be None because international shipping doesn’t support delivery confirmation.
• Product Description – Required field for creating UPS international postage label. The purpose of it is to give a basic description of the object you are shipping. For example “clothes” or “metal”, etc.

Additional notes:
