Remarks

When shipping internationally, the customer might want to have their own broker to deal with the delivery (for customs purposes). To request such service, the BrokerSelect option should be set in the ShipmentSpecialServices value. This allows you to designate a specific customs broker other than FedEx (or a FedEx designated broker). This is applicable to the following international FedEx services: FedEx International Priority, FedEx International Economy, FedEx International Priority Freight, FedEx International Economy Freight. FedEx International Broker Select is a contract service. Before you begin using FedEx International Broker Select (BSO), you must contact your FedEx account executive to be enrolled for this service. An additional routing surcharge applies to your BSO shipments if you choose to have FedEx complete delivery after customs clearance and if your recipient and customs broker are served by different FedEx clearance points. This service is not valid with SaturdayPickup/SaturdayDelivery services. When this service is requested, then the BrokerType, BrokerContact, and BrokerAddress are required to be provided in the ship request as well. Note: Certain customs limitations may apply for BSO shipments. Contact FedEx Express International customer service at 1.800.247.4747 for requirements.
