How the CNE Express → Correos handoff works

Follow the parcel across both networks without waiting on asynchronous webhooks or losing visibility at the handoff boundary.

1. CNE Origin Sortation & `PQ...` Pre-Registration
CNE Express sorts the parcel in China (`3A...`) and pre-registers a 23-character Spanish Correos `PQ...` barcode (`Pre-registrado`).
2. Air Freight & Madrid Customs Release
Shipments fly into Madrid-Barajas (MAD) or Liège (LGG), clear EU IOSS customs, and transfer to Correos's CTA Madrid hub in Coslada.
3. Correos Final Delivery (`En reparto`)
Correos scans `Admitido` → `En reparto` and delivers the package across Spain within 48–72 hours.
Secondary `PQ...` Barcode Resolution
CNE Express embeds the Spanish `PQ...` Correos or Correos Express barcode in its cross-border tracking metadata.
Unified API Timeline
`GET /v1/track/{number}` merges CNE Express export milestones with Correos Spain delivery scans.

curl "https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/3A5V849201962" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lsk_live_YOUR_API_KEY"

# 2. Query the extracted Correos (Spain) barcode:

TypeScript (Automatic Handoff Chaining)

const headers = { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LASTSCANNED_API_KEY}` };
const originRes = await fetch(`https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/${encodeURIComponent(number)}`, { headers });
const originPkg = await originRes.json();

// Extract secondary barcode from top-level message ("Last-mile carrier: Correos (PQ48290418293847561112K)")
const handoff = originPkg.message?.match(/^Handed to (.+?) as ([A-Z0-9-]+)$/i);
if (handoff) {
  const [, , lastMileNumber] = handoff;
  const destRes = await fetch(`https://api.lastscanned.com/v1/track/${encodeURIComponent(lastMileNumber)}`, { headers });
  const destPkg = await destRes.json();
