{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

Once the fields **Box Code**, **Weight UOM**, and **Weight** have been completed, click the *“Upload Packages”* button to send the data to DHL.

{% hint style="warning" %}
DHL will automatically **validate the customer data** during the upload.\
If the customer address is invalid, a **pop-up window with an error message** will appear.\

[Troubleshooting](/dhl-connector/dhlconnector_en_us/troubleshooting-and-support/haufige-probleme-und-losungen.md)
{% endhint %}

After a **successful upload**, the remaining fields will be filled in, and a **check mark** will appear under *“Uploaded”*.

<figure><img src="/files/jDJscfO9F7JrMRqBw0IY" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

At this point, your **shipping label has been created** and is **ready for printing**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**Important**

DHL uses a **three-letter country code system**.\
Therefore, **customer addresses in Business Central must also use three-letter country codes**, rather than the two-letter format normally used in BC.

**Example:** Use **DEU** instead of **DE**.
