Shipping Model Scenarios

To fulfil a cross-border order, use the Global-e APIs to generate shipping documents, including labels and commercial invoices. This ensures accurate and compliant documentation for the shipment, enabling a duty guarantee.

Global‑e supports the following document and document formats:

  • Shipping labels in 6x4 format, available in PDF/ZPL/EPL for specific UK carriers.

  • Commercial Invoices in 8.5x11 inch letter size or A4 format, provided only when a carrier and country do not support Paperless Trading (PLT).

Global‑e offers various shipping models to leverage our extended carrier network with specialised services through the Global‑e facility.
