UPS enhances services in Vietnam

UPS has enhanced its services in 10 provinces across central and southern Vietnam. The ten provinces are: Ba Ria Vung Tau, Binh Dinh, Binh Duong, Binh Phuoc, Dong Nai, Quang Ngai, Quang Nam, Tay Ninh, Thua Thien Hue and Tien Giang.

UPS has reduced transit times for export and import shipments moving within Asia from two days to one, and improved shipment times from Europe from three days to two. In addition, the cut-off times for pick-up have been extended by up to three hours. This service enhancement is part of UPS’s long-term strategy to provide local small-and-medium businesses with greater access to global trade.

“As a trade enabler, UPS is focused on reducing barriers for businesses looking to engage in cross-border commerce,” said Daryl Tay, Managing Director of UPS Vietnam.

“The Vietnamese government has expressed a commitment to pursue the 6.7% GDP growth target . Positive discussions are taking place around easing inter- and intra-regional trade with the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and European Union-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA).  We remain confident that trade will continue to flourish with Vietnam’s growing middle class and shifts in manufacturing.”
