Question

I'm trying to connect to FedEx International WebServices API for Ship Service.
I'm using WSDL of v13.

When I send the request I get Below Response:
(reply){
HighestSeverity = "ERROR"
Notifications[] =
(Notification){
Severity = "ERROR"
Source = "ship"
Code = "8200"
Message = "Special service is invalid."
LocalizedMessage = "Special service is invalid."
},
(Notification){
Severity = "WARNING"
Source = "ship"
Code = "7037"
Message = "Harmonized code is missing or invalid for commodity (COMMODITY_INDEX}; estimated duties and taxes were not returned."
LocalizedMessage = "Harmonized code is missing or invalid for commodity (COMMODITY_INDEX}; estimated duties and taxes were not returned."
MessageParameters[] =
(NotificationParameter){
Id = "COMMODITY_INDEX"
Value = "1"
},
},
Version =
(VersionId){
ServiceId = "ship"
Major = 13
Intermediate = 0
Minor = 0
}
}
Warning I can have fixed but the Special Service Invalid Error Persists. Please let me know If I'm passing some wrong value or if I'm missing some Value.
Note: I tried adding the special services like COD, but the issue is same.

Answer 1

Since you don't have a special service defined, this error is really odd. You need to email websupport at fedex dot com for resolution. FedEx error responses are terrible.
