# Cancel Shipments

If you no longer need a shipment record for any reason, you can cancel it. If the shipment has any labels associated with it, you’ll need to [void the label](/void-labels) first. For example, a common use case would be if a [batch label creation](/batch-labels) job is going to run at a set time and only queries `pending` shipments. Canceling the shipment would remove it from this process.

## Requirements

- The `shipment_id`
- Any labels that have been created for that shipment first need to be voided.
