# International Options

| Name | Data Type | Description |
|  --- | --- | --- |
| `contents` | string | Contents of international shipment. Available options are: `"merchandise"`, `"documents"`, `"gift"`, `"returned_goods"`, or `"sample"` |
| `customsItems` | Object of strings and numbers | See our [**CustomsItem**](/apis/shipstation-v1/docs/models/customs-item) page for specifics. **NOTE**: To supply `customsItems` in the CreateOrder call and have the values not be overwritten by ShipStation, you must set the *International Settings > Customs Declarations* to "Leave blank (Enter Manually)" in the UI: [https://ss.shipstation.com/#/settings/international](https://ss.shipstation.com/#/settings/international) Please see our [**ShipStation's International Settings KB article**](https://help.shipstation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035991611) to learn how to make this change in the UI. |
| `nonDelivery` | string | Non-Delivery option for international shipment. Available options are: `"return_to_sender"` or `"treat_as_abandoned"`. **NOTE**: If the shipment is created through the [**Orders**/CreateLabelForOrder](/apis/shipstation-v1/openapi/shipments/create_shipment_label) endpoint and the `nonDelivery` field is not specified, then the value defaults based on the International Setting in the UI. If the call is being made to the [**Shipments**/CreateLabel](/apis/shipstation-v1/docs/shipments/create-label) endpoint and the `nonDelivery` field is not specified, then the value will default to `"return_to_sender"`. |
