FedEx Trade Networks launches redesigned WorldTariff web site
FedEx Trade Networks, Inc., a subsidiary of FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) is launching its redesigned WorldTariffSM Web site. The Web site, located at www.worldtariff.com, provides complete duty and tax information for 123 countries, updated by an editorial staff with region-specific tariff knowledge and local language skills.
The redesigned WorldTariff Web site includes more online duty and tax content, an improved look and feel, on-demand access, and simplified pricing. In addition to annual subscription offerings, WorldTariff now enters the on-demand trade facilitation content market by providing convenient access to duty and tax information without an annual commitment or minimum purchase requirement.
Customers can now register online and pay with a credit card for only US$7 per online query. A US$7 online query provides customers complete duty and tax information for an entire 4-digit heading pertaining to the destination country of their choice (up to 123 countries), including:
• Every fully qualified Harmonized System (HS) code under a chosen 4-digit heading
• Most Favored Nation (MFN) applied duty rate, Value Added Tax (VAT), excise tax and miscellaneous taxes assessed at import
• Preferences that pertain to fully-qualified HS codes under the chosen heading, from all origin countries in the WorldTariff database, all on the same screen
• Tariff descriptions in English
• No annual commitment or minimum purchase requirement (frequent users may still opt for annual subscriptions)
“WorldTariff strives to be the preferred duty and tax provider for both large and small businesses—regardless of carrier or customs broker preference. Current WorldTariff clients include trade promotion agencies, international law and consulting firms, universities, third party logistics companies, customs brokers, freight forwarders and software companies,” said Ed Clark, president and CEO of FedEx Trade Networks, Inc. “There are many users of online duty and tax providers who want to register online and get the duty and tax information they want, without making a long-term commitment—the new WorldTariff Web site gives them that option.”
Access to WorldTariff duty and tax data enables customers to:
• Classify goods according to the tariff schedules of all WorldTariff’s destination countries
• Identify the lowest duty rate for up to 123 destination countries
• Include duty and tax implications when making a sourcing decision between vendors from multiple countries
