FedEx notice sets new email requirements for international labels

FedEx says both shipper and recipient email addresses will become required when creating international labels in the affected tools. The published dates are November 21 for FedEx Ship Manager at fedex.com and January 2027 for the Ship API; the notice does not give an exact January day.

The notice recommends accurate, actively monitored contacts and prefers individual contacts to generic addresses. Because this information appears on a regional service page, confirm applicability with the booking account and origin market. It should not be presented as a new rule already active in every shipping system.
