Federal Express Corporation (FedEx), one of the world’s largest express transportation companies, is enhancing its service to better serve customers importing to Kyoto. The improvement covers certain areas in Kyotanabe-shi, Yawata-shi, Kizugawa-shi, Soraku-gun Seika-cho and Tsuzuki-gun Ide-cho. Importers can now receive their deliveries one day earlier for inbound parcel and freight shipments arriving in Japan on a weekday.

The enhanced service applies to customers using FedEx International Priority Express (IPE), FedEx International Priority (IP), FedEx International Priority Freight (IPF), FedEx International Economy (IE) and FedEx International Economy Freight (IEF) to receive their shipments from Asia, the Middle East, the Indian Subcontinent, Africa, and Europe.

“At FedEx, we understand the critical role that speed and reliability play in the success of businesses,” said Kei Alan Kubota, managing director of FedEx Japan. “By speeding up import shipments to Kyoto, we are helping key industries including chemicals, electronics, and heavy machinery in the area grow and also supporting the local economy. This enhancement reflects our commitment to providing customers with a differentiated value proposition and unique solutions to grow their business. ”
