Relevant endpoint for label creation

Label: The Label endpoint allows the retrieval of last-mile carrier labels through exporto. If you already

have an existing carrier integration for your preferred last-mile carrier, please consult your
exporto Onboarding Manager to determine compatibility.

• Response typically includes a PDF label,
  base64 encoded, and a separate
  trackingCode field.                                                                                                                                                 
• shipmentMethodId: Different
  shipmentMethodIds will be used for each
  carrier product. Provided by exporto.

Data Flow for Customs Relevant Data

The exporto API is essential for transmitting all relevant information for customs declarations.
Three key endpoints are used:

Article:

• Receives information on the article master.                                                                                                          
• Typically involves an initial upload of the
  complete article master, with updates as
  necessary.

Order: 

• Receives details about orders, including address data, shipment number, order content and shipment weight.                                                                                                                                                                
• foreignOutboundTrackingId: Shipment number from Label endpoint or direct carrier
  integration.                                                                                                                                                           
• foreignInboundTrackingId: Tracking ID for return label, if applicable.                                                               
• Articles must be registered via the article endpoint beforehand.

Tour: 

• Requires a comprehensive list of shipmentIds or foreignOutboundTrackingIds for pickup.                                                                                                        
• The list must be thorough to ensure accurate customs declaration.
