# ERROR WHEN GENERATING A FEDEX LABEL: THE COMMERCIAL\_INVOICE REQUIRES AN ELECTRONIC LETTER\_HEAD"

You are trying to generate a label with Fedex that requires customs documents (CN23), but the error message below is displayed:  

**Error message: *"****6003: The COMMERCIAL\_INVOICE requires an electronic LETTER\_HEAD "*

 

➡️ This message means that Fedex was unable to generate the customs documents required for this shipment.

 

**✅ Solution:**

For Fedex to be able to generate this customs document, you need to **upload a specific header image** and **footer** in your Fedex backoffice.

➡️ We therefore invite you to **contact your account manager at Fedex** so that they can assist you with this configuration.
