Overview
IPC’s Postal Delivered Duties Prepaid (PDDP) framework enables postal operators to transmit Electronic Advance Data (ITMATT) through established postal messaging channels for outbound items.
Through direct integration with this framework, BoxC processes the transmitted data to perform U.S. duty calculations and execute remittance to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) under our Qualified Party authorization. This approach allows Posts to satisfy U.S. duty prepayment requirements using their existing postal infrastructure, without the need to build separate customs calculation or payment systems.
For operators already utilizing IPC messaging standards, activation of U.S. duty compliance is an extension of current workflows rather than a system overhaul. For those not yet participating, BoxC provides a structured pathway to adopt a compliant Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) model built on established international postal data standards, ensuring operational continuity and regulatory alignment.
