The final step is to connect your Australia Post account to your Zonos Verified Account by adding your shipper identifier. This is what links your Australia Post shipments to Zonos for duty collection and compliance.
During initial setup, you’ll add your primary shipper identifier. You can add additional identifiers later in Dashboard → Settings.

How to find your Australia Post shipper identifier
If you’re unsure how to find your Australia Post shipper number, follow the steps below based on your account type.
For business contract customers using Parcel Send, your Merchant Location ID (MLID) appears on the screen preceding the log-in to Parcel Send. Your MLID appears in the top right of your screen.
In this example, the account’s MLID is made up of the letters following “John Smith -” (the example account name). In the below example, the account’s MLID is “TEST1”.
Once your Zonos account is approved and a payment method is added, the connection should complete automatically. You do not need to connect the accounts yourself.
At this point, you now have a Zonos Verified Account with Australia Post.
