DHL is expanding its Trade Automation Services (TAS) to include Latin American countries and the Philippines.
TAS is an online resource that provides complete trade and customs data for 63 countries. Those countries now include more than 90% of the world’s trade flows with the addition of Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Venezuela and the Philippines.
“Strong growth for DHL Express in Asia Pacific and increased demand for day definite products in Latin America led to DHL’s continued improvements and expansion of TAS,” said Preston Rencehausen, services portfolio manager at DHL Express. “In 2008, TAS Web Services transactions were up nearly 25%, reflecting the need to simplify and streamline global trade as it becomes increasingly complex.”
