International Shipments
University personnel shipping anything internationally (materials, documents, equipment, specimens, etc.) should utilize eShipGlobal.
The University's preferred on-line shipping service is eShipGlobal. Using eShipGlobal as your source for all shipments, domestic and international, will ensure the best discounted pricing available from FedEx, UPS, Lone Star Overnight, and DHL (international only), as well as 100% HUB credit. From eShipGlobal's site, the user can choose the preferred carrier and service, print shipping labels from their computer, and track packages in transit. Payments will be made utilizing the University ProCard.
Using eShipGlobal also provides the user with an added layer of security and minimized liability through its built-in compliance verification checks. Some high technology goods, and other less assuming goods, are export controlled depending on their classification and destination. When processing the user's shipment, eShipGlobal will flag any export compliance concerns and/or Dangerous Goods/HAZMAT concerns, which will then require approval from UTA's Office of Regulatory Services (ORS) and/or Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S) respectively. These required approvals help to minimize the user's liability. In addition, eShipGlobal creates and maintains documentation of shipments helping to comply with federal recordkeeping requirements.
