With FedEx International DirectDistribution, FedEx quickly and easily moves your goods across oceans and borders to customers and retail stores. Our portfolio of services combines the reliability and efficiency of the FedEx shipping network with the international forwarding and customs expertise of FedEx Logistics to consolidate multiple packages or freight into one shipment for efficient clearance through customs — bypassing distribution centers and cutting costs and time to market.

Traditional distribution often involves multiple service providers, handoffs and the use of a distribution center. These factors can slow down the distribution process and result in increased inventory, poor visibility and an increased risk of error, loss or damage.

FedEx International DirectDistribution offers a flexible end-to-end solution. FedEx consolidates multiple packages or freight into one shipment to reduce fees and streamline clearance through customs, before transporting and distributing individual shipments directly to customers and retailers without your goods stopping at a distribution center or warehouse.
