Receiver ID: Required for Retoure service. If you have multiple receiver ID for different countries, can fill in all of them in one shipper account with the format: {3-letter country code1}:{$receiver_id1}, {3-letter country code2}:{$receiver_id2}[etc.]

**For example: **

case 1: DEU:deu,FRA:fra case 2: DEU:YourReceiverId (In this case, your receiver ID in DHL is: Your Receiver Id)

Please note the values are case sensitive and not allow space.

If you want to use Retoure service but don't fill up the receiver ID, it will throw error as: "Error: Receiver ID is required for shipment from DEU"
