Limits

Regional arbitrary fees (the Item 790 series) are normally added automatically from the postcode and do not need to be sent.

Authoritative list is served live

The authoritative code list is served from keywordlist.xml on the carrier's own host. The codes here are a documentation snapshot and may lag it.

How codes are sent

The quote and order APIs use different codes for the same service — quote sends LIFD for liftgate delivery, order sends LFTD. Check which call you are making before picking a code.

Common questions

How many accessorial codes does GLS US have?

GLS US publishes 62 accessorial codes across pickup, delivery and shipment-level services. Each one is listed with the service it maps to and the source the value was read from.

What is the GLS US liftgate code?

GLS US uses LFTD for liftgate delivery, sent in the accessoriallist field. Other carriers spell the same service differently, so the code is only valid for GLS US.

What is the GLS US residential delivery code?

GLS US uses RESD for residential delivery. Residential surcharges apply to any address the carrier classifies as non-commercial, which can include home businesses.

Are there limits on GLS US accessorial codes?

Regional arbitrary fees (the Item 790 series) are normally added automatically from the postcode and do not need to be sent.

Is this the complete GLS US accessorial code list?

The authoritative code list is served from keywordlist.xml on the carrier's own host. The codes here are a documentation snapshot and may lag it.

How are accessorial codes sent to GLS US?

The quote and order APIs use different codes for the same service — quote sends LIFD for liftgate delivery, order sends LFTD. Check which call you are making before picking a code.

Is the GLS US accessorial code list free to use?

Yes. The lookup is free with no signup, and the same data is available from the /api/accessorials REST endpoint on every plan including the free tier.

Need this programmatically? /api/accessorials/carrier/gls returns the same data as JSON on every plan.
