How the JCEX → Royal Mail handoff works

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

1. JCEX Origin Sortation (China)
JCEX processes the parcel at its Hangzhou or Shenzhen hub and links a 13-character UK Royal Mail Tracked (`...GB`) or Evri barcode.
2. Air Freight to LHR & UK Customs Clearance
Consolidated cargo lands at London Heathrow (LHR), clears HMRC customs, and transfers to Royal Mail's Midlands or Home Counties Super Hub.
3. Royal Mail Delivery (`Due to be delivered today`)
Royal Mail scans `Item received` and delivers the parcel within 24–48 hours.
`...GB` Barcode Extraction
JCEX embeds the 13-character Royal Mail `...GB` barcode inside its cross-border tracking metadata.
Unified API Timeline
`GET /v1/track/{number}` merges JCEX Chinese export milestones with Royal Mail UK delivery scans.
