FedEx ETD (Electronic Trade Documents) is a service that enables the electronic transmission of required customs documentation for international shipments. By allowing shippers to upload trade documents digitally, ETD facilitates faster and more secure customs processing, eliminating the need to physically attach paper documents to the shipment.
There are three available options
1. Activate the extra service "Electronic TradeDoc", and FedEx will generate the invoice based on the data you send in the Articles section.
For this option, you need to upload to your FedEx account the "Company Letterhead" and "Signature" (one time action)
