Country Of Origin, Parcel Weight & Dimensions

Important

When using Global-e Enterprise services for shipping, consult with your account manager about the availability of this feature.

You can send the product's country of origin, parcel weight, and parcel dimensions to DHL and Aramex via the ship request, according to the data you provided via GetShippingDocuments.

If any of the following attributes are not specified, this information is taken from the default value provided in the product catalogue , as part of the ecommerce integration :

  • Product Country of Origin

  • Parcel Weight: For Global‑e Enterprise, the weight of the products within the parcel is calculated according to the parcel weight with the simple average method.

    Example: For a parcel weighing 1000 Grams with two items, each item will weigh 500 Grams.

    Note

    The weight is always in Grams in GetShippingDocuments.

  • Parcel Dimensions: For Aramex, Global-e provides the parcel dimensions according to the first parcel even for consolidated shipment (in the current implementation, the dimensions exist at the shipment level and not per parcel).

    Note

    The dimensions are always in Centimetres in GetShippingDocuments.
