World's 9th largest airline and over 2,000 flights a day, and leader in express shipping announced enhancements to a variety of Web-based technology tools to simplify the complexities of global trade.

"Businesses of all sizes count on UPS to bridge the distance around the globe," said Dave Barnes, UPS senior vice president and CIO. "Technology is the key to helping them demystify international trade and optimize global supply chains."

The enhancements announced by UPS include:

"My UPS"
To address the needs of small businesses, UPS has enhanced the functionality of "My UPS" on ups.com. Any registered UPS customer can have quick access to package tracking, delivery services, billing and international shipping forms specific to their preferred origins and destinations, all from a single web page at MyUPS.com.

The new My UPS also is more intuitive, remembering preferences, drop-off locations, saved tracking numbers or a Quick List of frequently ordered UPS supplies

MY UPS registrants can easily access, complete online and store for 90 days all the necessary forms required for international shipping.

International Forms help MY UPS registrants, UPS CampusShip and UPS Internet Shipping users determine which forms are needed for a given shipment and enables them to create templates for reuse.

International Payment
In July, small businesses (and other customers) will be able to use a credit card to pay for international shipments.
