FedEx Ground Bar-Code Label (International)
Providing complete, accurate documentation helps ensure that your FedEx International GroundSM shipments to Canada and Puerto Rico arrive on time. Use the following guidelines to ensure both packages and shipments are prepared correctly.
Each FedEx International Ground package requires either:
- A combined bar-code/address label produced by FedEx electronic shipping tools or third-party parcel-processing equipment, or
- A preprinted bar-code label plus an address label you create yourself. These bar-code labels contain your company's shipper number and a unique tracking number for routing your package.
- Attach a blue international shipment label as well.
The address label must include the business name of your recipient, plus the street address (with suite or floor number, if any), city and state or province, ZIP or postal code and destination country, as well as a contact name and complete phone number.

Each FedEx International Ground shipment requires:
- Commercial Invoice: One signed original and two copies for U.S.-to-Puerto Rico shipments and one signed original and four copies for U.S.-to-Canada shipments.
- One Shipper's Export Declaration (SED) if the shipment value is greater than $2,500 for U.S.-to-Puerto Rico shipments.
All export documents go into the Customs Documents Enclosed pouch and must be attached to your shipment. Keep all international ground packages together for pickup.
You can prepare your shipping labels and Commercial Invoices online using FedEx Ship Manager® at fedex.com. Refer to FedEx International Documentation® to print blank customs forms or get additional shipping assistance.
If you want to complete your paperwork manually, your FedEx account executive can provide forms preprinted with your address. Or you can have blank forms faxed to you (call 1.800.851.3336 and select option 3).
