link Shipment Flow

This short guide will walk you through creating and filing shipments.

  1. Creating a Shipment


    • Create the shipment with a unique shipment reference (called 'cid' in the API for client identifier), unique importer reference, MOT, plus any optional fields.
    • createShipment(input: CreateShipmentInput): ShipmentPayload

  2. Updating a Shipment


  3. Transmitting the ISF


    • Transmit the shipment's ISF. You will receive immediate validation errors if any fields are missing incorrect.
    • submitISF(key: KeyInput!): SubmitISFPayload

  4. Shipment Notifications


    • Receive the response from CBP (shipments_isfFiled, shipments_isfRejected and/or shipments_billMatch) as a notification via webhook: WebhookEventType. These will contain all the fields you need, including the shipment record in our system and status from CBP.
