Form Guide

This guide will explain how to create various Forms for a purchased shipment using the EasyPost API.

There are multiple forms that can be created for a purchased shipment. Some forms will automatically be created, in which case no action is required. However, other forms must be created by request after a shipment has been purchased. In this case, you can input any necessary information in the request parameters.

In the section below, you will find the list of forms you can create, their supported carriers, and the parameters each form accepts.

These forms can be created after the shipment is purchased

Form	Parameters	Carrier
Label QR Code	Form	USPS. See Label Broker Guide
Return Packing Slip	Return packing slip parameters	All carriers
RMA QR Code	RMA QR Code parameters	Fedex (Note: This requires account provisioning. Please contact support to use this feature.)

These forms will be automatically created after a shipment is purchased

Form	Parameters	Carrier
Cod Return Label	N/A	FedEx

CN22	N/A	Select carriers like USPS. The CN22 form will be included on your postage label when available.
