AusPost has partnered with Zonos to provide Verified Accounts for all Australia Post merchants.
You will need a Zonos Verified Account for each AusPost account you have. So if you have a MyPost Business account and an eParcel account, you will need to create a verified account for each. If you have multiple eParcel accounts, you will also need to create a verified account for each of them.
It is important you setup your Zonos Verified Account and link your AusPost account in preparation for US shipment compliance. You can do this via the link sent by AusPost in recent email notices to all business customers. If you can't find that email, Zonos has an Australia Post referral link on the dedicated Verified Accounts for Australia Post page on their website:
The page above also has answers to many FAQs, along with a billing explanation specifically for Zonos Verified Accounts for Australia Post.
Your use of ReadyToShip will be unaffected by the addition of Zonos; you don't need to link it to the app in any way.
If your store platform has the function available, you should ensure that all your products have accurate HS Tariff Codes and Country of Origin (COO) added, as you won't be able to produce labels without this information.
If you choose not to add them in your store, or your store platform does not support this function, you can add the details directly in ReadyToShip. You can find help on how to do this in our article here.
We suggest you also check your Store (Shopify / Neto / Magento etc) settings to ensure you are collecting duties for your US orders.
Checklist:
Have you connected all of your Australia Post accounts to Zonos?
Have you included HS Codes and COO in your store?
Is your store set up to collect duties on all US purchases?
If you have any questions about how Zonos works you'd be best to reach out to AusPost directly. This AusPost page has some good information along with some FAQs: https://auspost.com.au/disruptions-and-updates/international-service-updates/us-tariffs
