how-to-add-customs-value-in-python-fedex-for-international-shipments: How to add customs value in python-fedex for international shipments?
#REF: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58949887/how-to-add-customs-value-in-python-fedex-for-international-shipments
"""
This example shows how to create an international shipment and generate a waybill as output.
The example takes outset in a real practical use case, where electronic trade documents are
used and an existing PDF commercial invoice is added along with product descriptions via ETD.
Further, it adds event notifications to allow for emails to be sent to the end recipient.
The script is comprised of a FedExLabelHelper class with all core functions, and a use case
example with minimal dummy data
