Tracking Information Data Format
Shipments contain a list with the name units. Inside this list the element carrier conatains the tracking information per unit.
byrd Terminology: Units
A unit corresponds to a parcel in the real world. The majority of shipments have a single unit, however some have more than one. This happens because the contents of the shipment can't fit into a single parcel, requiring them to be split up into multiple parts. Units have their own parcel ID and tracking information.
