Shopify uses the packed size of each variant to pick the smallest box that fits an order, for carrier-calculated rates and shipping labels. Now you can set that size for all your variants from a spreadsheet.

### 🚀 What's New

- **Packed dimensions** - New columns set the packed length, width, and height of each variant, in centimeters or inches ([see the columns](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490229-product-fields#shipping-variant-packed-length)).
- **Shipping and Customs group** - One product export group now has every shipping field of a variant, from requires shipping and weight to HS code and country of origin ([see the group](https://support.getaltera.com/en/articles/11490229-product-fields#customs-information)).

### ⚠️ Heads-up

- **Columns moved** - Variant Weight, Variant Weight Unit, Variant Requires Shipping, and Variant Shipping Profile moved from Inventory / Variants to Shipping and Customs. Default exports still include them, and saved exports keep their columns.
