SHIPPING FREIGHT WORLDWIDE SINCE 1973
Moving many types of freight from aerospace and aviation parts, equipment
and electronics to military hardware, heat exchangers and other oversized
goods quickly and reliably around the globe requires extensive
international freight expertise. With profit margins tight, costs and
competition mounting, and both customers and manufacturers pressuring you
to add more value to your freight services, there is no room for error.
Customs clearance, import and export regulations, documentation and
classification, tariffs, and currency exchange must all be expertly
navigated. You’re judged not by the obstacles you face but by the results
you deliver. To manage everything is literally a big load and FedEx
Express is the transportation company that can take that load off your
shoulders.
INTERNATIONAL EXPRESS SERVICES
FedEx Express has a fully automated worldwide network dedicated to
providing express shipping door-to-door delivery worldwide to 220
countries in 1–3 business days. This gives you faster, more reliable
access to many more international markets internationally with flexible
delivery options tailored to meet scenario-specific freight requirements.
Our constantly expanding express services include International Priority –
a highly reliable, express, time-definite, customs-cleared, door-to-door
service for worldwide shipments up to 68kg per unit and International
Priority Freight - an express, time-definite, customs-cleared delivery
service for heavyweight freight between 68kg and 1,000kg per item to and
from more than 130 countries and territories worldwide. Each service is
backed by the FedEx Money-Back Guarantee which demonstrates the confidence
we have in meeting our commitment for the on-time express delivery of your
shipment.
DANGEROUS GOODS TRANSPORTATION
FedEx is an IATA member and a world leader in shipping dangerous freight,
hazardous substances or materials packed in dry ice. Our express,
door-to-door, customs-cleared service to key European, North American and
Asian markets includes a comprehensive service from Europe into 48
countries worldwide with precision handling by trained specialists. FedEx
Express also has wide-ranging defence industry experience in military
clearance, helping export goods into difficult areas in support of
military forces and working closely with military suppliers.
CUSTOMS CLEARANCE
Every country has its own shipping import regulations and documentation
requirements. The US, for instance, has export restrictions for certain
high-speed radar instruments, technology with potential military
applications and similarly sensitive freight. Small errors in customs
clearance mean big delays that no-one can afford when your customers are
counting on urgent replacement parts or other critical freight. FedEx
Express can help your shipment clear customs without delays by:
- Advising on which country and
product-specific international documents, commodity codes, certificates
and declarations to download and complete for your shipments
- Giving you estimates of the duties and
taxes relating to each shipment
- Enabling compliance with relevant
international regulations through FedEx Regulatory Consulting Group
- Enabling you to ship various commodities
under one international express air waybill for real economies of scale
- Creating additional cost savings by
enabling you to ship loose pieces (up to 68 kg each) or multiple skids
(over 68 kg each) as one consolidated shipment that clears customs as a
single unit, and then is de-consolidated for delivery to individual
recipients in the destination country

CAREFUL HANDLING FOR
SENSITIVE SHIPMENTS
Defence equipment and parts come in
all shapes, sizes and weights. High-value instruments need precise
handling to minimise the risk of damage during shipment. Electrical
components can be sensitive to the point of delicate and need the same
kind of secure transportation for optimum performance. To meet these and
many other challenges, FedEx Express provides a variety of precision
shipping and handling solutions that let you:
- Arrange for safe door-to-door delivery
of delicate or high-security freight and other shipments requiring
timing and handling expertise beyond the norms of standard shipping
through the FedEx Custom Critical® network

custom-engineer packaging solutions for complex product needs at the
FedEx Packaging Lab

difficult-to-access locations

freight within a controlled network, including both accessible and
inaccessible dangerous goods

pieces without worrying about rejection due to broken packaging
