Create Tracking Events for a Shipment

GDE (Global Direct Entry) shipments can often experience delays between the time a label is created and when the package is officially inducted into the USPS postal stream. This delay can occur due to various reasons such as processing times, transportation, or customs handling. During this period, there may be little to no tracking updates available, which can leave customers uncertain about the status of their shipment.

To help keep your customers informed, this endpoint allows you to create custom tracking events for shipments that may experience long periods between label creation and being inducted into the USPS postal stream. These tracking events can simulate package movement to provide updates to your customers.

Supported USPS Tracking Codes

Only tracking events for the following USPS tracking codes are supported:

• 80: Pre-shipment information sent to USPS
• 81: Package arrived at USPS facility
• 82: Package departed USPS facility
