Customs Value is required error on create shipment

[ReinierKorth]

Hi,

When I try to create an international shipment i get a "Customs Value is required" error.

Is there a way to declare the value of the shipment? Setting insured_value on the package didn't work.

Thank you,

Reinier

I have the same issue. Below is my code if anyone else takes a stab at this.

It seems like the rate calculation works as per the example in the Wiki - but I'm not able to get the shipment to work. Any inputs would be great! @jazminschroeder If you have any inputs it would be greatly appreciated :-)
