FedEx adds online duty, tax payment to PH import tool

Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) has added an online duty and tax payment function to its FedEx Import Tool (FiT) in the Philippines, so importers can handle key customs clearance steps on one platform, the company said.

According to FedEx, importers can now submit documents, follow clearance status, pay duties and taxes and download clearance papers in the same online tool. FedEx says this is meant to cut delays and make importing easier.

The tool is free for both account holders and non-account customers, FedEx said.

“The continued improvement of the FedEx Import Tool reflects our commitment to making cross-border shipping simpler through digital innovation,” said Garrick Thompson, managing director of FedEx Philippines. “By enabling online duties and taxes payments in the Philippines, we’re giving customers greater convenience, visibility, and control over their import shipments, while helping them reduce delays and keep their supply chains moving.”
