Processing a Pitney Bowes Cross Border Return

Due to restrictions on Personally Identifiable Information (PII) DesktopShipper cannot allow PII to remain in the system longer than 30 days.

Orders older than 30 days will have the customer contact and address info stripped from the UI. This makes it so you cannot utilize the "reship" or "return order" buttons.

Pitney Bowes Cross Border Returns and HS Codes (Harmonzied Codes)

International orders require HS Codes (Harmonized Codes) on the items contained in the shipment. HS codes are used by customs authorities, importers, exporters, and other stakeholders to identify and classify goods for various purposes, such as customs duties, trade statistics, and regulatory requirements.

When a Pitney Bowes Cross Border return is processed, there is a specific code to be used indicating a return item, so that duties and taxes are not charged twice.

When the return service is used, "CB10: CBDS Return Standard Per Piece", the system will overwrite the HS Code on the order with the HS Code that has been set on the Pitney Bowes Cross Border account.

To view the HS Code that is set on the Pitney Bowes Cross Border account, navigate to "Carrier Accounts" settings.

Select Pitney Bowes from the left-hand side.
Locate the Cross Border account info and click the edit pencil.

In the edit window, under the "CBD Returns" section, is the HS Code set on the account. This can be edited as needed.
