How to report a shipment as lost

Is AutoFile enabled on your account? If yes, it’s likely that EPISCS already took action on this shipment.

The last tracking event shows a proof of delivery. In the case that there was no proof of delivery for a shipment, EPISCS will take actions to validate the delivery.

Marking a shipment as lost will speed up the processing of a lost claim.
