Which software option can be used to generate a Shippers Declaration?

• A. Any Software with a digital signature
• B. FedEx Software Only
• C. FX-18 Compliant Software Only
• D. FedEx Software or FX-18 Compliant Software

Answer: (D)

Generating a Shipper's Declaration for air shipments requires software that can produce the document in a recognized, standards‑based format. The FX-18 standard defines the exact data fields and layout that the declaration must have, ensuring the information is complete, consistent, and verifiable. FedEx software is built to generate the declaration in their system, while FX-18 compliant software does the same for other carriers that accept that format. If you use software that isn’t FX-18 compliant, the declaration may not be accepted even if it can provide a digital signature, because the required fields or formatting wouldn’t meet the approved specification. So the safe and correct approach is to use FedEx software or FX-18 compliant software to generate the Shipper's Declaration.
