Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, today announced the launch of the Collaborative Shipping Tool. This new digital tool simplifies the import process for customers by enabling seamless collaboration during Airway Bill (AWB) creation between importers and shippers, enhancing overall efficiency when moving goods across the globe.

Global merchandise trade is set to increase by 3%, with imports in Asia projected to grow by 5.1% in 2025. China also holds significant potential for import growth. In 2024, China’s imports reached 18.39 trillion yuan, and it is expected to maintain its position as the world’s second-largest importer. According to a study by the International Trade Centre, failed pickups and lack of shipment visibility are among the top challenges faced by importers globally. Such inefficiencies directly impact business operations, underscoring the need for digital solutions like the Collaborative Shipping Tool.

This shipping tool allows importers to share the Airway Bill (AWB) creation process directly with shippers, enabling them to confirm shipment details and schedule pickups based on their readiness. This collaborative feature is designed to improve the success rate of shipment pickups, ensuring greater efficiency in the import journey.
