What are the actual address field lengths for shipping?

I vaguely recall seeing something from @Karson about only the first 8 characters of the Address 2 field are actually passed to UPS.

According to UPS, 35 characters are actually available:

What are the actual available lengths of all shipping address fields?

I am asking because I have customer with a complicated new address and I need to get the info onto the label. (And I need to reroute it TODAY).

Hey Jeff,

From the database level in our system we stop this at length of 100.

I went to the code for this one to see if we did any stripping on our end when we send it to UPS.
We don’t cut this off inside our system, but UPS had a restriction of 8 for the label, since it would cut off after when the image comes back to us.

They might be able to still ship up to 35, since it would be computerized, but I cant guarantee it.
