DHL's expanded Asia Flights, Provides International Shipping's Best Import Experience.

World's leading global express delivery & logistic provider DHL launched a major strategic initiative focused on DHL Import Express, a unique, all-inclusive, door-to-door service for expediting imports to the United States and between third countries. Import Express enables customers to send or receive documents and packages of any size, weight or value to and from over 210 countries - packaged in one simple solution using just one company, one currency and one invoice.

"Import Express represents a key business initiative to serve our U.S. customers with the most comprehensive international capabilities," said John Mullen, Joint Chief Executive for DHL Express. "DHL understands that, whether you are a multinational or a small business, importing goods can be a complicated process that may result in costly delays. Import Express allows customers of any size to have their importing needs managed by a single source all the way through the shipping process."

Market demand is driving the need for more efficient handling of imported goods. U.S. imports are presently valued at $1.5 trillion annually. In addition to being China's largest trading partner, U.S. imports from South and Central America and the European Union were at record highs in March, and imports from Japan and Mexico were the highest since 2000, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Using Import Express, customers can - with one phone call - move goods from China to the U.S., or from London to Hong Kong (known as the "third country" option), for example, and pay for delivery in the U.S. on one invoice and in one currency. Shipments stay within the DHL system from origin to destination allowing for easy tracking, anytime.
