Benefits of UPS Paperless Invoice

  • Easy Custom Clearance: Custom clearance is one of the biggest hindrances to smooth international shipping. Sometimes, shipping containers have to be warehoused due to the lengthy process of customs clearance. Some of the common problems faced by shippers in customs are :
  • Improper information/Inadequately filled export documents
    Incorrect/missing duties and taxes
    Wrong classification of shipments
  • Miscommunication and manual document filling are the most common causes of these issues. However, with a UPS paperless commercial invoice, customs Clearance is easy, and the documents are sent electronically, which reduces the possibility of mistakes.
  • Accurate Verification: Because information is stored electronically, customers greatly reduce their chance of making manual errors filling out customs documentation. This also eliminates the possibility of submitting incomplete paperwork, the main cause of delay for international deliveries.UPS Paperless Invoices cuts down the risk of managing essential information and ensuring accurate submission of documents, saving a lot of time & effort.
  • Cost-effective: Paperless invoicing has a significant impact on operational costs which require a constant supply of papers. However, switching to UPS paperless commercial invoices reduces costs and increases productivity irrespective of your business size.
  • Fast & Secure Transfer of Documents: UPS Paperless Commercial Invoices assure confidentiality of Customs values when shipping directly to customers, thereby delivering security and authentication. Not just that physical tampering with documents: paper tear and ink smudges can be avoided.
  • Environment friendly: Since shipping documents are transferred electronically within a matter of seconds, it reduces the need for ink and paper, promoting environmentally-friendly practices.
