Managing international shipments often means entering the same customs information repeatedly. With ShipTime, you can save time and maintain consistency by setting a default customs broker that automatically appears when creating eligible international shipments.
This helps simplify cross-border shipping workflows and reduces repetitive data entry when shipping internationally.
Why Set a Default Customs Broker?
Setting a default customs broker can help your business:
Save time during shipment creation
Maintain consistent customs documentation
Reduce manual entry for international shipments
Improve efficiency when shipping across borders
Once configured, your preferred customs broker information can automatically populate during shipment creation, helping keep your logistics operations moving.

1. Go to Settings
