With effect from January 1, 2024, Shippers will be charged SGD 6 Manual Document Handling Fee per shipment for two types of shipments as detailed below:

Manual Air Waybills:

From January 1, 2024, Manual Document Handling Fee will be charged per shipment after shipment is shipped using a manual Air Waybill.

From this date, the “Manual Air Waybill surcharge” will no longer be chargeable, and only the Manual Document Handling Fee shall apply to such shipments.

Air Waybills generated via shipping tools but without trade document uploading:

The Manual Document Handling Fee shall also be chargeable from January 1, 2024, on shipments shipped with Air Waybills generated via shipping tools but without FedEx^® Electronic Trade Documents uploading.

To allow shippers to adapt to the use of Electronic Trade Documents with Air Waybills generated via shipping tools, no fee will be charged for such shipments between January 1, 2024 to February 29, 2024 as a grace period.

We encourage you to use our online shipping tools and upload Electronic Trade Documents when you ship with FedEx so that you can avoid this surcharge and enjoy the ease, speed, and convenience of processing shipments digitally.

Beginning October 31, 2023, FedEx is thrilled to introduce a new Boeing 767 flight that will reduce transit times by one day for shipments originating from South Vietnam, including Ho Chi Minh City to various major cities across Asia, Europe and the Middle East, Indian Subcontinent and Africa (MEISA) region.

This means that for the entire Vietnam market, FedEx can offer transit of just one business day* to reach major APAC cities and two business days* for connections to major cities in Europe and MEISA.

Please refer to our online rate & transit time tool (https://www.fedex.com/en-sg/online/rating.html#) for the exact transit time for your shipments. Should you have more questions, you may contact your Sales Representative or call our Customer Service Team at 1800-743-2626.

Note: * Transit times may vary depending on specific origin and destination postal codes. 

With effect from November 2023, Singapore shippers using FedEx^® Electronic Trade Documents (ETD) to submit Customs documentation electronically will no longer be required to print a FedEx air waybill copy for export declarations.

To continue offering the best possible ancillary clearance service, the rate of advancement fee assessed on import shipments will be adjusted to 5% of Duty & Tax or SGD20, whichever is higher but capped at SGD120. This adjustment will take effect starting November 1, 2023.

With the B2C e-commerce market growing steadily and residential deliveries on the rise, consumers are not always home to receive their deliveries.

Starting July 7, 2023, in New Zealand and September 4, 2023, in Australia, residential shipments may be released without signature at recipients’ doorstep or such other appropriate place, with a Picture Proof of Delivery, when recipients are not at home. Picture Proof of Delivery will give e-commerce merchants and consumers peace of mind on the delivery of their shipments.

This enhancement is another step in our continued efforts to innovate digitally, improve our customers’ experience and will assist in decreasing our carbon footprint.

The change will apply to all FedEx International Connect Plus (FICP) and International Priority Express (IPE), International Priority (IP), and International Economy (IE) services with declared customs value less than USD600 and declared value for carriage less than USD1 delivered to residential addresses.

For residential shipments that require a signature, customers need to select one of the following signature options at shipment creation: Indirect Signature Required (ISR), Direct Signature Required (DSR) or Adult Signature Required (ASR). Please note that DSR and ASR options come with a surcharge. 

New regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia require all customers shipping to and within Saudi Arabia to enter a ‘short address code/ National address’ of the receiver/ consignee to ensure faster delivery of your shipments. This requirement impacts anyone shipping to Saudi Arabia from within and outside the Kingdom.

Please request the receiver/ consignee of your shipment based in Saudi Arabia, for their ‘short address code/ National address’ to ensure faster delivery of your shipments.

The requirement is already in effect and in the coming time the national address will become mandatory for all residents, citizens and companies operating inside Saudi Arabia.

In order to avoid possible delays or return of shipments, please adhere to the new requirements and help ensure your package(s) reach their destination. Please refer to the user guide of entering the short address code / National address to the FedEx or TNT shipping tools correctly.

For more information on the ‘short address code/ National address’, please visit https://splonline.com.sa/en/national-address-1/

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has announced that it will begin rejecting any U.S. import shipment data containing vague descriptions effective November 12, 2024. If CBP rejects a vague cargo description, then FedEx may decline the shipment at origin or may hold the shipment at origin until complete data is submitted.

FedEx customers are reminded of the importance of providing precise cargo descriptions when creating their shipments with FedEx to ensure their shipments comply with CBP’s regulations. After the effective date, any shipments identified by CBP as containing vague descriptions will be rejected by CBP and may incur delays.

Precise descriptions accurately describe what the goods are made of and their intended use. Examples include “children’s toys made of plastic” rather than “toys” and “women’s dresses made of 60% cotton 40% polyester” rather than “clothing”.

To learn more about writing a clear commodity description, watch our video here on fedex.com. Additionally, CBP has provided a list of examples to illustrate how to create a precise commodity description, which you can find here.

With this enforcement in place, manual air waybills destined for the United States will experience a 1-day transit extension. To minimize any impact on your shipments, we encourage customers to utilize FedEx online shipping tools to create shipments.

For further information and support related to this enforcement, please contact your sales representative or FedEx customer service team.

If you receive a message matching this description do not open the email or enter any personal information. Delete the email immediately.

It has come to our attention that a fraudulent e-mail with unauthorized use of the FedEx name has been circulating to our customers.

Customers need to be aware that this is a fraudulent request and that this e-mail attachment contains a virus. If you have received one of these fraudulent e-mails, do not open the attachment, but delete the email immediately.

FedEx does not request payment or personal information in return for goods in transit or in FedEx custody via unsolicited mail or e-mail.
