The Wineshipping API supports international shipments via select carriers and services. This guide covers how to map international address fields — particularly for United Kingdom addresses — to the BillingContactInfo, RecipientContactInfo, and DeliveryContactInfo request objects.


Country Code

All contact address blocks accept an ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (3-letter) country code in the Country field.

The most commonly used international country codes are listed below, ranked by order volume:
