Postal services - Interfaces for cross border parcels

This document will specify the interface between the e-merchant (any commercial customer sending parcels) and the first logistic operator, including both public and private carriers. For the application of this document, a cross border parcel is a parcel crossing a border into and within Europe.
The interface composed on two items:
- the physical label attached on the parcel: contents, sizes, minimum requirements to guarantee the quality and efficiency of the logistic process (sorting, delivery).
- the electronic exchanges between the sender and the logistic operator with the description of the data to be provided, the forma of the exchanges.
While designated operators of UPU have drawn up business requirements using proprietary standards and related data components, online merchants have developed open, not‐for‐profit standards for final delivery which are integrated into their existing supply chain management environment.
The document aims to specify the interface between the e‐merchant (any commercial customer sending parcels) and the first logistic operator composed by incorporating the 3 elements:
- physical label attached to the parcel with information for item identification;
- electronic exchanges between the sender and the logistic operator concerning parcels dispatch;
- data needed for various delivery chain parts, in particular final delivery to the recipient, in order to facilitate exchange between the item‐specific identifiers.
NOTE 1 The last element enables the growth of integrated, data‐driven systems which support highly efficient and customer‐driven cross‐border ecommerce. This reflects the current trend to B‐to‐B‐to‐C delivery solutions in the European and international cross border e‐commerce markets. Delivery from original source to final consumer can be split over more than one service provider.
NOTE 2 C‐to‐B‐to‐B‐to‐C solutions will be an extension, in particular when returns are specified. The “first C” would indicate that consumers wishing to return items, or induct items themselves, will be able to print labels following the fundamentals specified in this standard.
E‐merchant exchange data with logistic operators (i.e. the postal operators, but not limited to those designated to fulfil the rights and obligations of UPU member countries) to help, simplify and enable the consequential logistic and transactional tasks. The establishment of common definitions and electronic formats, safeguards the reliability and decreases the overall costs by avoiding software development costs, multiple printing equipment, over‐labelling during the process, and the manual sorting. reliability and decreases the overall costs by avoiding software development costs, multiple printing equipment, over‐labelling during the process, and the manual sorting.

Postalische Dienstleistungen - Schnittstellen für grenzüberschreitende Pakete

Dieses Dokument legt die Schnittstelle zwischen dem Onlinehändler (jedem gewerblichen Kunden, der Pakete versendet) und dem ersten Logistikunternehmen fest, was sowohl öffentliche als auch private Spediteure einschließt. Für die Anwendung dieses Dokuments ist ein grenzüberschreitendes Paket ein Paket, das eine Grenze nach Europa hinein oder innerhalb von Europa überschreitet.
Die Schnittstelle besteht aus zwei Komponenten:
- das auf dem Paket angebrachte physische Etikett mit Angaben zu Inhalten, Abmessungen und Mindestanforderungen zur Sicherstellung von Qualität und Effizienz des Logistikprozesses (Sortierung, Zustellung);
- der elektronische Austausch zwischen dem Absender und dem Logistikunternehmen mit Nennung der bereitzustellenden Daten sowie dem Format für den Datenaustausch.
Während benannte Postbetreiber innerhalb des WPV geschäftliche Vorgaben auf der Grundlage von proprietären Standards und dazugehörigen Datenelementen erarbeitet haben, haben Onlinehändler offene, nicht gewinnorientierte Standards für die Endzustellung entwickelt und in ihre bestehende Supply Chain Umgebung eingebunden.
ANMERKUNG 1 Das Datenelement ermöglicht die Verbreitung von integrierten, datenbasierten Systemen, welche wiederum den Weg ebnen für einen höchst effizienten und kundenorientierten grenzüberschreitenden Onlinehandel. Dies trägt dem derzeitigen Trend hin zu B2B2C Zustellungen im grenzüberschreitenden europaweiten und globalen Onlinehandel Rechnung. An der Zustellung vom ursprünglichen Absender zum Endempfänger können mehrere Dienstleister beteiligt sein.
ANMERKUNG 2 C2B2B2C Lösungen stellen eine Erweiterung dar, insbesondere, wenn es um Retouren geht. Das „erste C“ steht dafür, dass Kunden, die eine Sendung zurückschicken oder selbst einliefern wollen, in der Lage sind, Versandetiketten nach den in diesem Standard beschriebenen Grundlagen drucken können.
Onlinehändler tauschen Daten mit Logistikdienstleistern aus (z. B. Postbetreiber, wobei dies nicht auf jene beschränkt ist, die benannt wurden, die Rechte und Pflichten der WPV Mitgliedsländer zu erfüllen), um so dazu beizutragen, die daraus folgenden Logistik  und Transaktionsaufgaben zu vereinfachen und zu ermöglichen. Die Einführung allgemeingültiger Definitionen und elektronischer Formate sichert die Verlässlichkeit und verringert die Gesamtkosten durch Vermeidung von Ausgaben für Softwareentwicklungen, von mehreren Druckern und Zubehörgeräten, von Überetikettieren während des Prozesses sowie von manuellem Sortieren.
