> Configure optional UPS settings for negotiated rates, international shipments, pickups, validation, and handling.

Configure optional UPS settings when your shipping workflow needs negotiated rates, international invoice settings, pickups, address validation, or special handling.

## Negotiated rates

Starshipit uses UPS retail rates by default. If your UPS account has negotiated rates, go to **Settings > Couriers > UPS > Advanced** and select **Use Negotiated Rates**.

## International settings

For international UPS shipments, configure your incoterms, export type, and tax identification number in **Settings > Couriers > UPS > Advanced**.

You can also charge duties and taxes to a third-party account, such as a Zonos account. Enter the third-party duty and tax billing details in **Settings > Couriers > UPS > Advanced**, then click **Save**.

## NAFTA Certificate of Origin

You can configure settings for the **NAFTA Certificate of Origin** for shipments between Canada, Mexico, the United States, and Puerto Rico.

The NAFTA Certificate of Origin is attached to an invoice if the shipment value is greater than:

- $1,000 USD when shipping to Mexico from Canada or the United States.
- $2,500 CAD when shipping to Canada from Mexico or the United States.
- $2,500 USD when shipping to the United States from Canada or Mexico.

## Paperless invoice

You can enable UPS paperless invoice for commercial invoices and NAFTA Certificate of Origin documents in advanced settings.

:::note
UPS must also enable paperless trade on your UPS account. If paperless trade is working, `EDI` appears at the bottom right of paperless trade labels. Otherwise, `INV` appears.

## Declared value

UPS may charge additional fees when you specify a declared value for international shipments. To disable declared value for international shipments, go to **Settings > Couriers > UPS > Advanced** and tick **Exclude Declared Value for International Shipments**.

## Pickups and cancellations

Starshipit supports booking UPS pickups. For pickup steps, see [Book a courier pickup](/articles/360000133996-book-a-courier-pickup).

To cancel a UPS shipment, go to **Settings > Couriers > UPS > Tools**, enter the shipment tracking number, and submit the cancellation.

## Adult signature and special handling

To require age verification, tick **Adult Signature** on the order.

To flag large packages or packages that need additional handling, use the large package and additional handling tickboxes in the order details. This helps return rates that include the relevant surcharges.

## Enhanced address validation for US shipments

Enhanced address validation checks US receiver addresses with UPS before label generation. If the address is valid, Starshipit generates the label. If the address is invalid, Starshipit returns an error so you can update the address.

1. Go to **Settings > Courier > UPS (New)**.
2. Open the **Advanced** tab.
3. Tick **Enable address validation for United States shipments**.
4. Click **Save**.

:::note
Enhanced address validation is not supported in the UPS Legacy integration.
