TNT Introduces Online Import System

TNT Express has announced the worldwide launch of its Express Import system which gives customers complete control over their import shipments.

This web-based tool allows companies to order the collection of import shipments from around 170 countries with quotations and billing in their local currency to better control shipping costs.

The system enhances TNT’s current Express Import services and is available to all customers regardless the type or size of their business, and whether they are sourcing finished goods or spare parts from multiple suppliers around the world.

One feature of the system is the option to request a quotation before the booking is completed. This means that customers can effectively decide when their import shipment will arrive and at what cost. The company ships the goods via its ground or air network, depending on the customer’s budget and timeline requirements. The system is available with any of the company's core delivery services: 9:00 Express, 10:00 Express, 12:00 Express, Express and Economy Express.

The importing customer enters orders online and connects to the sender via email. TNT takes care of language barriers, produces the necessary paperwork for the sender, and handles collection, transportation, customs clearance as required and delivery of the consignment to the designated address.

The system is available in several languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
