Don't worry, your current integration remains fully functional. Read more about [maintenance mode](/docs/getting-started/api-version-guide), or check out the [migration guide for API v3](/docs/getting-started/migration-guidelines-for-api-v3).\n</Warning>\n\nFor international shipments, a commercial invoice, CN23 or CN22 (+CP71) form must be attached (either physically or [digitally](https://support.sendcloud.com/hc/en-us/articles/4417349714452-Send-your-customs-documents-digitally-via-Paperless-Trade-) for some carriers) to the shipment for customs officials to access. The type of document required depends on the shipping method and value of the shipment.\n\nWhen you use the [Create a parcel or parcels](/api/v2/parcels/create-a-parcel-or-parcels) endpoint, Sendcloud generates the correct type of document for your shipment if you have filled in all the information related to the parcel contents, value, and invoice. Use this endpoint to retrieve these documents in your preferred format.\n\nThe supported document types are as follows:\n\n- `air-waybill`\n- `cn23`\n- `cn23-default`\n- `commercial-invoice`\n- `cp71`\n- `label`\n- `qr`"
