Required for postal aware

See Note 9 in Appendix E of the
FSMS TCR Version 7.6 for a list
of Postal Aware Countries.
FedEx Ground/FHD does NOT
accept ZIP+4 and no postal
code validation is performed.
In our sample table from the FSMS TCR:
• Field 13 is Required to process the shipment.
• Field 14 is Optional – a second recipient address line is used only if the recipient has an apartment
number, suite number, or any other type of identifier in addition to the primary address.
• Field 17 is Conditional – the recipient postal code is required only if you are shipping to a postal
aware country. Therefore, if you are shipping from the U.S to Canada, the postal code is required for
this field. If you are shipping from the U.S. to Brazil, no postal code is required.
For every transaction, there are two fields which are always required:
1. The first field of any transaction is field 0 (Transaction Type). When creating a new transaction,
begin with 0,”2”
2. The last field of any transaction is field 99 (Transaction End). When creating a new transaction,
end the transaction with 99,””. There are no spaces between the quotation marks, and no information
is needed within the quotes.
These fields allow FSMS to recognize that a new transaction is to be processed and where the
transaction ends. A complete Request transaction, therefore, would be formatted as:
0,”2”1,”FedEx2”10,”197448300”16,”OH”17,”44907”21,”5”22,”1”99,””
