How to upload and use FedEx Electronic Signature images for ETD [Step-by-step guide]

When shipping international orders via FedEx and you choose to use Electronic Trade Documents (instead of physically printing customs and trade documents), you need to upload the header and signature images to be properly handled and used by FedEx's system.

This process consists in 2 parts:

• Firstly, uploading the images you will use (maximum 700x50 pixels, GIF or PNG format), which will be saved in your techSHIP portal for further usage
• Lastly, assigning the images to the header and signature (maximum 240x25 pixels, GIF or PNG format) of the account you will use to ship properly

This article describes both processes separately. These might need to be repeated as many times as needed to cover all the images and accounts you will use.
