UPS provides tools to help streamline international shipping for SMBs
UPS has launched a significant upgrade to its shipping website, by making the process of creating an international shipment smarter and easier for its small and medium business (SMB) customers in 116 countries, including 36 countries in the Indian subcontinent, Middle East and Africa (ISMEA).
“With SMEs contributing over 40% of GDP in emerging economies, there is no doubt about the huge potential this sizable and fast-growing segment possesses,” stated Jean-Francois Condamine, President, High Growth and Emerging Markets, UPS.
Set to take effect in phases throughout 2020, it will help simplify international shipping by guiding customers through the process and by providing proactive insight into total landed costs, including duties and taxes.
“Despite the incredible growth of e-commerce sales across the globe, estimated to hit $6.5 trillion by 2023, we know that many companies are hesitant to trade internationally due to the complexity of cross-border shipping,” said Nando Cesarone, President, UPS International.
