IRAQ, LIBYA, MOROCCO & SRI LANKA JOIN TNT’S ‘EXPRESS IMPORT’ NETWORK

TNT Express, the world’s leading B2B express delivery company, has added 20 countries - including Iraq, Libya, Morocco and Sri Lanka – to its ‘Express Import’ service, which allows customers to arrange collections from an overseas client and pay for delivery in their own currency or send shipments overseas and the recipients pay for the transaction in their local currency.
 
“With all the GCC countries already being well established in the Express Import network, this expansion gives our regionwide clientele access to a greater geographic spread for this convenience product, which removes any difficulties arising from exchange rate conversions or fluctuations,” said Mark Pell, TNT’s Managing Director, Gulf and Saudi Arabia.
 
“Customer service is at the heart of everything we do and the expansion of Express Import, to some of the Gulf’s key trading partners, shows our commitment to handling all our customer’s import requirements, from contacting overseas suppliers and ensuring consignments are picked up promptly, to taking care of all necessary paperwork and customs clearance.”
 
Other countries now joining the Express Import network include Brunei, Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Madagascar and Morocco and TNT says another 25 countries will be added within six months.
 
“The Express Import network stands at well over 100 countries and it is TNT’s intention to continue the expansion until it reaches every country in the world,” explained Pell.
 
Customers using Express Import can send consignments with TNT’s 9.00 express, 12.00 express, Global express and economy express services. They can follow their consignments’ progress with TNT’s web-based track-and-trace system and gain simplicity and control of delivery and costs through a single invoice.
