If you use Line Item Import Automation, be sure that you update any missing information before April 21 to have a smooth transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can check your line items on the import page <a href=\"https:\/\/chitchats.com\/clients\/_\/settings\/line_items\/automations\">here<\/a> and update the missing information.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you have multiple items, you can export your line items to a CSV, update any missing information, and then re-upload the file. Alternatively, you may edit each item individually.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each product must have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SKU (a unique identifier &#8211; if you don\u2019t have a SKU you can easily create one)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product Name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customs Description<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>Shipping to the U.S. and other international destinations comes with a long list of requirements, such as HTS codes, Country of Origin, and more. If you\u2019re manually creating multiple shipments, it can be exhausting to repeatedly enter the same information for a limited set of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Product Automation, you only need to enter this information once. After that, you can breeze through creating your shipments without re-entering details every time. Don\u2019t just take our word for it, see it in action:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 58.44155844155845%; height: 0;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.loom.com\/embed\/5c32af32b25f4174a5cc2902c1f8cd1e\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This feature lets you save your entire inventory on the platform.
