UPS International Address Verification API

UPS offers an API for international address verification, which validates addresses from over 40 countries. The API is adequate for shipping packages, but does not provide comprehensive address data intelligence for better business decisions. However, you can use the API to validate customer addresses. You can access the API in Smarty. You can use the data it returns for a variety of purposes.

The Address Validation API returns alternative addresses for international shipments. It can also be used to complete incomplete addresses by adding the recipient's secondary information. This feature is not available on all carriers. However, FedEx's API supports international address validation. Once you've entered a recipient's street address and selected the desired service, you can check it against other addresses. If UPS's validation returns no results, you can contact the carrier and request an alternative.

Another way to ensure the address is correct is to check the postal code and address type on the address. This will ensure that the correct address is used for the package. This will help you avoid lost packages and damaged goods. It's also helpful to check for invalid recipients. In addition, address validation will increase the accuracy of courtesy rate quotes.

After verifying an address, UPS will send it back to you. The address you entered should match the one shown on the UPS website. Occasionally, UPS may return a different address. It's important to store the address before submitting it.
