Ship to Puerto Rico and US Territories
USPS, UPS, DHL, and FedEx require packages going from the US to US territories (like Puerto Rico) must follow certain address formats to get rates or create shipping labels. In some cases, you'll need to fill out customs declarations, even though the carrier considers the shipment to be domestic.
Typically, USPS providers will require the country to be listed as the United States, while UPS and FedEx will require the country to be the territory name (which is often also in the State field). See the below sections for details by carrier.
