Overview
Double quotes are used as separators between comma delimiters in a CSV file. If you use double quotes in one of the UPS®, DHL® or FedEx® shipment reference fields, the CSV format of invoices posted to your account will not format correctly. This requires a manual edit on our end to get invoice imported into your Express Parcel International, LTD account.
How to fix the issue
This problem is specific to the reference fields. To correct the issue of double quotes in reference fields, the change must be performed in the software or system used to create shipping labels.
