FedEx Canada launches cross-border advisory services
FedEx Express Canada will begin offering support and advice to businesses seeking certification or approval in various cross-border security programs, such as Free and Secure Trade (FAST), Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), Partners in Protection (PIP), and Customs Self Assessment (CSA).
The FedEx Global Trade Advisory service will help businesses navigate through the application process by examining their facilities, procedures, and suppliers, making recommendations to address the differences between the client’s existing procedures and what is required for certification requirements.
Regulatory experts will assist companies in:
Conducting examinations of their facilities and business procedures; help secure their supply chain and achieve customs compliance; and make recommendations to address identified gaps.
FedEx will also assist with the application process for cross-border security programs and perform on-going account maintenance and security audits.
“The launch of this service is in direct response to the voice of our customers who have expressed the need for assistance with navigating the dynamic and ever-changing regulatory environment, particularly at the U.S. border, following 9/11,” said Renate Jalbert, managing director, regulatory affairs of FedEx Express Canada.
“FedEx Express takes the hassle out of international shipping by having the customs knowledge to clear packages fast and efficiently, and can deliver ease, simplicity and certainty in the trade process.”
