TNT Express launches new system for import shipments .

TNT Express has launched its new worldwide Express Import system which gives customers complete control over their import shipments. This Web-based tool lets companies order the collection of import shipments from around 170 countries with quotations and billing in their local currency to better control shipping costs.

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

A unique feature of the system is the option to request a quotation before the booking is completed. This means customers can effectively decide when their import shipment will arrive and at what cost. TNT ships the goods via its ground or air network, depending on the customer's budget and timeline requirements.

TNT's Express Import system not only offers greater control, it is convenient to use and highly automated. The importing customer enters orders online and connects to the sender via email.
