With recent U.S. tariff changes, new requirements have emerged for merchants shipping to the United States. To support this, you can now manage two new fields in your Classic Product Catalogue:
HTS Code:
- The U.S. version of the HS Code used for customs classification and duty calculation.
- If a product has an HTS Code set up, Starshipit will automatically use it when shipping to the U.S.
Cost Price:
- The base cost of your product, used internally or for B2B2C shipping where the retail price should not be declared.
- If a Cost Price is set and you enable the new option in Settings → Product Catalogue Settings: When sending to USA and cost price is provided, use this for item price (B2B2C scenario)
- Starshipit will dynamically swap the item’s declared value for its Cost Price when shipping to the U.S. This helps you meet customs requirements and keep pricing accurate for B2B2C fulfilment.
These fields can only be added in the Classic Product Catalogue for now, but once added, they’ll work for shipments created in either UI.

How to use it:
- In the PrintedorShippedtabs of the Orders Grid, open theFilterpanel.
- Find Writebacktowards the bottom of the filter options.
- Choose one or more statuses to refine your view.

Mobile
Improved tote workflows in batch picking
We’ve made tote handling in the mobile app much smoother, especially for batch picking with
one order per tote
: - Scan totes upfront: At the start of a pick or batch pick, scan the totes you’ll be using (one per order).
- Auto-assignment: The app automatically assigns totes to orders.
- Guided placement: As you pick, the app directs you which tote each item belongs in.
- Optional scan-to-confirm: Turn onMust Scan Tote to Place Itemsif you want pickers to scan each tote before placing items.
This improves on our existing batch picking workflow by removing confusion around lingering totes and giving pickers clear, guided instructions — making the process faster and reducing errors.
We’ve released several improvements to give you more flexibility, reduce manual steps, and make shipping data more accurate:
- Automanifest scheduling– Automanifest previously only ran once nightly. You can now choose the exact time of day it runs in Settings → Couriers → Scroll to the bottom -> Auto manifest. This helps you align label generation with courier pickups and warehouse operations.
- UPS automatic void on archived orders– InSettings → Couriers → UPS, you’ll now see a setting called Automatically Cancel Archived Orders. When enabled, archiving an order will automatically cancel the UPS label with the courier. Learn more about cancelling orders
- Package weight calculation in UI 2.0– When changing a package in UI 2.0 (via scan or selection), the system now uses the sum of item weights (or imported weight) instead of defaulting to the package’s preset weight. This ensures packages reflect actual order contents.
- Australia Post Collect at Post– The “Collect at Post” option is now automatically forced into Address Line 1 when required by AusPost’s Collection App. This resolves cases where it was being mapped incorrectly, ensuring manifests process correctly. No additional set up required
- OpenCart HS Codes & Country of Origin– OpenCart 2.0.3 integration now imports HS Code and Country of Origin fields, so international shipments can generate compliant customs labels (e.g. DHL).
- Packing summary template variables– Custom packing summaries now support%ItemSize%and%ItemColor%variables. These were already available in default summaries and are now extended to your customised templates. -> Learn more about custom templates.
- WooCommerce delivery instructions mapping– InSettings → Integrations → WooCommerce, you can enable “Copy delivery instructions to order notes.” Once switched on, delivery instructions entered at checkout will appear in WooCommerce order notes and in the Notes column in UI 2.0.
You can now set the
incoterm
for Parxl shipments in Starshipit. Previously, all shipments defaulted to DDU. With this update, you can choose DDP when duties and taxes should be paid by the sender.We’ve extended our Dangerous Goods (DG) support in New Zealand. In addition to Post Haste and NZ Post, you can now send DG shipments with NZ Couriers directly from Starshipit.
Dangerous goods are items that pose a risk in transport (e.g. aerosols, flammable liquids, batteries). With this update you can:
- Add and manage DG types in your NZ Couriers settings
- Flag orders manually or apply DG automatically using rules
- Automatically generate DG Declaration Forms alongside your labels
🚚 Couriers
NZ Post – new services
- ICOUSUS: A new service that lets you send shipments directly to the United States through NZ Post.
- Courier Select AU Returns (ICOUSRAUS): When creating a return from Australia to New Zealand, you’ll now see eligible Courier Select AU Return services alongside EasyReturns. A valid NZ Post contract is required — contact your account manager to confirm eligibility.
CouriersPlease – additional auto-manifest time
- 6pm AEST: If you’re using auto-manifest with CouriersPlease, shipments will now also manifest at 6pm AEST. This helps ensure that orders created later in the day aren’t missed, reducing the chance of delays.
UPS – create return with each outbound rule
- Automatic return label: You can now set up rules to automatically create a return label alongside each outbound shipment. This makes it easier to include return labels in the box upfront.
- Learn more in our support guide.
Parxl – sending MID codes
- Manufacturer ID: If you include a Manufacturer ID in your order, Starshipit will now automatically pass this through to Parxl when creating shipments.
🛒 Platforms
Amazon – product images & more countries
- Product images: Amazon orders now automatically import product images. These appear in Packing Validation, Order Details, and Packing Slips, giving you more context when fulfilling shipments.
- Marketplace coverage: The Amazon integration now supports Belgium, Ireland, and South Africa, letting you connect and manage orders from these regions.
WooCommerce – partial shipments & barcode import
- Partial shipments: We’ve improved support for the WooCommerce Shipping Tracking plugin, including handling partial shipments when orders are split across multiple consignments.
- Barcode import: Orders now import barcode values from theglobal unique idfield, making barcodes available for scanning and validation.
Brightpearl – import customer reference (ref)
- Ref tag: When using Goods Out Notes, the Brightpearlref(such as a Shopify Order ID) is now imported as a searchable tag in Starshipit.
- The tag is visible in both the order grid and order details, making it easier to identify orders.
Neto – importing item properties

- HS Code (HSTariffNumber)
- Country of Origin (OriginCountry)
- Item dimensions (ShippingLength, ShippingWidth, ShippingHeight)
