EAD - Export From Germany
An EAD (Export Accompanying Document) is required by German Customs for orders with a customs declarative value above 1,000 EURO shipped from Germany to a country outside the European Union. Global-e can provide this document to Merchants who are doing the shipping themselves. This functionality is not yet supported for Merchants who are using Global-e for shipping. Procedure for receiving an EAD- When an order is created, Global-e sends an indication that an EAD is required in the SendOrderToMerchant (Global-e to Merchant) notification. ( see AdditionalRequiredDocuments section) Do not start fulfilment until the document is ready.
- Global-e notifies you when the EAD is ready by sending SendAdditionalRequiredDocumentsToMerchant (Global-e to Merchant) endpoint and including the document itself (base64 encoded) in the notification. Upon receiving this notification, you can do the fulfilment with this document included in the order shipping documents.
