1.0 Introduction

This document contains a Reference Guide to the Rate Calculator APIs, RateV4 and IntlRateV2. See the Developer's Guide to learn the administrative process for gaining access to the Web Tools APIs as well as the basic mechanism for calling the APIs and processing the results. The Developer’s Guide also contains information on testing and troubleshooting.

备注: The Request Parameter sections present the XML input tags for generating live requests along with the restrictions on the values allowed. An error message will be returned if an incorrect value is entered. Also, be aware of the maximum character amounts allowed for some tags. If the user enters more than those amounts, an error will not be generated. Web Tools will simply pass in the characters up to the maximum amount allowed and disregard the rest. This is important since the resulting value could prevent a correct response.

When building the XML request, pay particular attention to the order and case for tags. An error message will be returned if an incorrect value is entered. Remember that all data and attribute values in this document are for illustration purposes and are to be replaced by your actual values. For instance, a line of sample code may be:

In this instance, you will replace “2” with the weight in pounds for the package.

2.4 Error Responses

Error conditions are handled at the main XML document level and Package node level. When parsing, it is best to check for an error document first before checking for good data. Error documents have the following format:

<Error>

<Number></Number>

<Source></Source>

<Description></Description>

<HelpFile></HelpFile>

<HelpContext></HelpContext>

</Error>

Where:

· Number = the error number generated by the Web Tools server.

· Source = the component and interface that generated the error on the Web Tools server.

· Description = the error description.

· HelpFile = [reserved for future use].

· HelpContext = [reserved for future use].

Errors that are further down in the hierarchy also follow the above format. An <Error> element may be returned at the top (response) level if there is a problem with the syntax of the request, or if a system error occurs. But if there is a problem with a specific Package within the request, an <Error> element will be returned within the <Package> element that pertains to the specific package ID. Since the RateV4 API allows you to submit multiple packages within a single request document, the response may contain a mix of domestic rate information and errors. For requests containing multiple package IDs, you need to check if there is an <Error> within a given <Package> element, as well as checking for an error at the top level for example:

<MailService>Priority Mail Express&lt;sup&gt;&#8482;&lt;/sup&gt;</MailService>

</Postage>

2. Many types of merchandise, unless sent as unsolicited gifts, require import licenses that the addressees must obtain from the British Board of Trade. Before mailing commercial shipments, senders should be assured that the addressees can obtain licenses if needed.

3. All goods sent to the UK are liable to customs duty and Value Added Tax on importation whether or not the package is marked as a "gift." Packages are admitted free of customs charges, however, if they meet the following conditions:

(a) Gift packages of small value provided they do not contain any tobacco goods, spirits or wine;

(b) Gift packages containing only well-worn clothing (excluding garments of high value), limited quantities of foodstuffs (other than caviar), soap or consumable medical supplies.

4. Postal packages without a customs declaration that contain goods liable to customs duty or control may be seized by the customs authorities.

8. Effective 2021 年 01 月 01 日, for all goods sent to the UK not exceeding £135 in value, the UK will not accept for importation an item that has not had the value-added tax (VAT) collected at the time of sale, before importation. For international postal items containing goods exceeding £135 in value, the UK will continue to collect the VAT at the UK border at the time of import. Online marketplaces that facilitate the sale of goods will be responsible for collecting and accounting for the VAT. For goods sent from overseas and sold directly to UK consumers, the overseas seller will be required to register and account for the VAT to HM Revenue and Customs. These changes will not apply to consignments containing excise goods or to noncommercial transactions between private individuals (known as Consumer-to-Consumer or C2C).

4.0 Error Responses

Error conditions are handled at the main XML document level, Package node level, and ExtraService node level. When parsing, it is best to check for an error document first before checking for good data. Error documents have the following format:

<Error>

<Number></Number>

<Source></Source>

<Description></Description>

<HelpFile></HelpFile>

<HelpContext></HelpContext>

</Error>

Where:

· Number = the error number generated by the Web Tools server.

· Source = the component and interface that generated the error on the Web Tools server.

· Description = the error description.

· HelpFile = [reserved for future use].

· HelpContext = [reserved for future use].

Errors that are further down in the hierarchy also follow the above format.

An <Error> element may be returned at the top (response) level if there is a problem with the syntax of the request, or if a system error occurs. But if there is a problem with a specific Package or ExtraService within the request, an <Error> element will be returned within the <Package> or <ExtraService> element that pertains to the specific package ID. Since the IntlRateV2 API allows you to submit multiple packages within a single request document, the response may contain a mix of international rate information and errors. For requests containing multiple package IDs, you need to check if there is an <Error> within a given <Package> or <ExtraService> element, as well as checking for an error at the top level for example:
