104 FedEx Ship Manager
®
Server User Guide, Version 7.6
• 81 – Harmonized Tariff Code
• 82* – Commodity Unit Quantity
• 414 – Unit of Measure
• 1030* – Commodity Line Item Unit Value
NOTE:
* Either field 78 OR fields 82 and 1030 must be used. Field 78 = 82*1030.
• The following fields are optional:
• 120 – Marks and Numbers
• 601 – International Traffic in Arms (ITAR) Exemption
• 1678 – Commodity Index Number
• If FedEx is creating and filing the CI (field 113 = Y), field 119 (TCV) is derived from the product of
(field 82 x field 1030) or (Quantity x Unit Value) OR from the sum of all occurrences of field 78-#
(Commodity Customs Value). In this case, field 119 (TCV) is an optional input field. If a shipment has
multiple commodities and thus multiple occurrences of fields (82 and 1030) OR 78, then the Total
Customs Value will be the sum of the Customs Value of each line item, i.e. ((82-1*1030-1)+(82-
2*1030-2)+(82-X*1030-X)) OR from the sum of the occurrences of field 78. This derived value will be
returned in field 119 (Total Customs Value) in the 120 Reply transaction.
• If FedEx is creating and filing the CI (field 113 = Y) and field 119 (TCV) is provided in the 020
Request transaction, the inputted value will override the derived value if and only if it is greater than
the derived value. Otherwise, it will be ignored.
• If FedEx is filing the CI (field 113 = Y), it is recommended to include field 119 (TCV) in the Create if it
may be necessary to override the derived TCV.
Adding, Editing, and Deleting Commodities
Commodities may be edited, added to, or deleted from a shipment that is prepared via Open Shipping
after the Create transaction has been processed by using fields 1677 and 1678.
Field 1677 (Commodity Action Code) is required and the valid values for this field are Add, Edit, and
Delete. When editing or deleting a commodity, field 1678 (Commodity Index Number) is also required.
This field is optional when adding a commodity.
Fields 1677 and 1678 are to be used to perform an action on a commodity after commodities are added
during the Open Ship Create.
Adding a Commodity:
1. Provide the Master tracking number if FedEx Express or the tracking number of the first piece for
FedEx Ground.
2. Set field 541 to NNNNNNNNN.
3. Set field 542 to the same Open Ship Index Number being used for the shipment.
4. Set field 1274 to the appropriate Service Type for the shipment.
5. Set field 1677 to 1 to add a commodity.
Field 1678 is optional and may be set to any value when adding.
