DTP shipment validation
October 5th, 2026 by Syed Haroon Shah
A new DTP-specific validation has been added for Royal Mail international export shipments. This enhancement enables DTP shipments to be validated against dedicated rules, helping ensure the correct services, destinations, and shipment information are used. This change improves validation accuracy and supports Royal Mail's evolving requirements for commercial export services.
The DTP value can be specified in the Create Shipment > CarrierSpecifics > TermsOfDelivery field.
ImportantPopulate the TermsOfDelivery field to DTP only when the Incoterms field is set to DDP. Otherwise, the shipment will fail validation and return an error.
For more information, refer to the Royal Mail Create Shipment endpoint.
