Federal Express Corporation, one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, is strengthening trade connectivity between Singapore and Johor to better serve customers in the region. Inbound shipments from Asia, Europe, and the U.S. will be routed to the FedEx Gateway in Singapore before journeying to Johor, enabling importers and businesses to receive their packages two hours earlier.

This enhancement is enabled by direct import clearance at Senai customs, bypassing the previous route through Kuala Lumpur that added a 300-kilometer detour before reaching the FedEx Senai Gateway for processing and delivery. This new approach not only enables businesses in Johor, particularly industries that rely heavily on timely imports including manufacturing, retail, and e-commerce, to receive their shipments with greater convenience; it also offers Singapore exporters greater efficiency in delivering their packages to Southern Malaysia.

“Optimising logistics is more than just speed — it’s about enabling businesses to grow and serve their customers better,” said Eric Tan, managing director of FedEx Singapore. “This improvement not only reinforces Singapore’s role as a key gateway for global trade but also empowers businesses to thrive in an increasingly competitive and interconnected marketplace. ”

The Johor-Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ) is poised to significantly enhance economic connectivity between Johor and Singapore, focusing on key sectors such as electronics, medical equipment, food manufacturing, and data centres. In 2023, Malaysia was Singapore’s third-largest trading partner with bilateral trade reaching USD 79.6 billion. Singapore also served as Malaysia’s largest source of approved foreign direct investment (FDI), contributing USD9.5 billion. As trade volumes rise, enhanced logistics connectivity will be instrumental in facilitating seamless cross-border movement of goods further reinforcing Singapore’s position as a regional trade hub.

As Singapore continues to grow as a key logistics hub in Southeast Asia, FedEx remains dedicated to fostering local businesses’ success and contributing to the region's economic development. The accelerated delivery service is just one of many ways FedEx is working to drive growth for its customers.
