The Windsor Framework is an agreement between the UK and the EU that modifies the Northern Ireland Protocol, which governs trade between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. More information about this is available in our Blog Post: How the Windsor Framework Impacts Your Shipments to Northern Ireland.
At EasyPost, the Business Transaction Type (the commercial transaction type of the shipment) can be one of the following:
| Term | Description |
| B2C | Business to Consumer |
|
B2B |
Business to Business |
|
C2B |
Consumer to Business (i.e. a Returns shipment) |
The specific type is determined from the Address Object's Residential Field and the is_return flag as follows:
| from_address.residential | to_address.residential | is_return | Transaction Type |
| True | False | False | C2B |
| True | True | False | B2C |
| False | False | False | B2B |
| False | True | False | B2C |
| False | False | True | B2B |
| False | True | True | C2B |
| True | False | True | B2C |
| True | True | True | B2C |
Note: Leaving the residential field null evaluates to false
