Some countries require the sender of a shipment to provide a tax ID for the recipient of that shipment. There are a range of potential tax IDs depending on destination company (e.g. VAT or EORI among others) and different courier companies also handle the capture of this data differently.
DHL Format Requirement
Our system has a single field call Recipient Tax ID to capture this data.
However, DHL require the Recipient Tax ID to be broken up into three parts: Type Code, Issuing Country Code, and ID number.
As a result, if you are providing a Recipient Tax ID while using DHL, you must enter the ID exactly like below (separated by commas):
Format: Type Code,Issuing Country Code,ID Number
Format Example: EOR,CZ,CZ123456789
