UPS also is enhancing its international billing options in UPS Internet Shipping, UPS CampusShip and the UPS Shipping Tool to allow a customer to determine who pays shipping charges and who pays duties and taxes when processing an international shipment.

Shipping charges may be paid by the shipper's UPS account, a credit card, the receiver or a third party while duties and taxes may be paid by the shipper's UPS account, the receiver or a third party. Users can even split up payment for duties and taxes if needed.

Managing Imports/Exports
For larger small package shippers, UPS is expanding the reach of Quantum View Manage from 23 countries and 16 languages to 31 countries and 20 languages.

Quantum View Manage is a visibility tool that provides inbound and outbound shipment information for both domestic and import/export shipments.

The Imports feature, currently available in the U.S., provides access to UPS customs brokerage data and clearance document images as well as tools (such as email alerts) to help facilitate customs clearance and compliance.

The Imports feature also is being enhanced in July to enable users to search up to one year of Imports data and to provide shipment tracking from the Import Shipment Detail screen.

"Over the last decade, UPS has invested billions of dollars in technology to help integrate the three flows of commerce - boxes, bytes and bucks for our customers," said Barnes. "We must continue to innovate and move fast to answer the growing demands of the global marketplace."

UPS is the world's largest package delivery company and a global leader in supply chain services, offering an extensive range of options for synchronizing the movement of goods, information and funds.

Headquartered in Atlanta, UPS serves more than 200 countries and territories worldwide.
