  4. Heavy parcel regulation in Germany

    Rules will be applied for heavy parcels in Germany in 2025. This means that your GeoData must contain the correct weight of the parcel. Concretely, you need to ensure that the DECLAREDWEIGHT field in the PARCEL line is correctly filled in, with a value that matches the real weight of the parcel.

    Of course, the MPSWEIGHT field in the SHIPMENT line still needs to contain the total weight of the shipment: the sum of all weights of all your parcels within that shipment.

    There are also mandatory changes to the labels which are listed on this page.
