iShip Restriction Feed

Overview

Items in the partner’s catalog must be classified before they can be sold online, so that accurate taxes and duties are collected from the customer. Partners have the option of choosing which items in their catalog are allowed be sold internationally. At the end of the automated rating process, a partner can consume a restriction feed, which can be used to prevent consumers at checkout from buying items in countries where those items are restricted.

The Data Warehouse team collects a partner's unrated items at regular intervals and loads the items into tax-duties-fees processing (TDF). These items are then classified on the basis of their description, item URL, and country of origin. After the items are rated, a restriction feed is generated which contains country-level restrictions.
