Tracking Status
Canada Post API returns a status code for each tracking event. DG maps this status code to one of the predefined statuses. E.g. 20 - Ready for Shipment.
DG scans all the tracking events to identify whether there is an event with status code that shows the parcel is returning back to the sender.
