As you switch from TNT to FedEx Express, why not take it a step further and change how you book?

Unable to move to our online shipping tools?
No problem, your company can keep shipping manually with FedEx Express. Just note FedEx Express forms are referred to as air waybills and TNT forms are referred to as consignment notes.
The purpose of the form stays the same – it provides key information about the shipment for FedEx Express and is used for tracking purposes too.
FedEx Express air waybills – what you need to know
Online only services
Below are the services that can’t be booked using the manual air waybill – you can only book them online:
FedEx International First® (Delivery by 8:00 am or 8:30 am to selected zip codes in the U.S. and by 10:00 am to major worldwide destinations, typically in 1-3 business days)
HS codes
An HS code (Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System) is used by customs to classify the product being shipped. That way FedEx Express can accurately calculate taxes and duties and apply any necessary restrictions. If you don’t include the HS code on the air waybill, you risk paying the wrong tax and possibly delaying the shipment.
A correct and complete air waybill
Before shipping, double check the air waybill is clear and correct. If there’s any information missing, then your driver won’t be able to pick up the shipment. For guidance on how to fill in the air waybill, please contact FedEx Express Customer Service.
Order forms by phone
The best way to order a batch of air waybills is to contact FedEx Express Customer Service.
Discontinued TNT discounts
Once you move to FedEx Express, you’ll no longer be able to ship internationally with your TNT discounts – you’ll only have access to TNT’s Full Book rates.
