FedEx Express recently launched its one-stop shop logistics solutions for dangerous goods in Cebu.

The solutions allow customers and businesses in Cebu to conveniently ship over 2,200 types of dangerous goods from Class 1 to 9 such as paints, perfumes, bleaches and electronic devices with lithium batteries to overseas markets, the company said in a statement.

Dangerous goods are items or substances that may pose health, safety, or environmental hazards if not handled carefully.

FedEx said through its expertise, dangerous goods are safely packed, marked, labelled and appropriately documented, meticulously handled and shipped by trained personnel to ensure they arrive safely at their destination.

“This suite of services gives businesses enhanced capabilities to expand their portfolio and meet the growing demands of their customers,” FedEx Express Philippines managing director Maribeth Espinosa said.

“We hope to open up more possibilities for local businesses to tap into global trade opportunities, as well as contribute towards Cebu’s continuous growth, as one of the country’s key economic and tourism hotspots,” Espinosa added.

Consistent with its commitment to support the growth of local businesses, FedEx said it continues to launch innovative service offerings to serve the needs of Philippine businesses of all sizes.

Some of these innovations include application programming interface solutions, which enable e-tailers to integrate FedEx shipping services into their storefronts; FedEx Delivery Manager delivery notifications and personalized options now available to customers via Whatsapp; and the recent relaunch of International Economy services that makes available day-define transit time for Philippine businesses with less urgent shipments, providing them with a more flexible connection to 170 markets.
