FedEx Launches Streamlined Export Permit Services for E-Commerce Retailers

FedEx Corporation, a leader in global express transportation, has announced the expansion of its FedEx® International Connect Plus (FICP) service to the Philippines, providing a significant boost to local e-commerce businesses. This day-definite international shipping service, already available in key Asia Pacific markets such as China, Hong Kong SAR, and Japan, now enables Philippine e-tailers to reliably ship goods to important destinations in the U.S. and Europe.

Growing E-Commerce in Asia and the Philippines

The expansion of FICP aligns with the increasing demand for cross-border e-commerce solutions as sales in Asia are projected to reach a staggering USD 13,209 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.6% from 2023 to 2030 (Source: McKinsey). In the Philippines, e-commerce sales are expected to hit approximately P969 billion by 2026. With the introduction of FICP, e-commerce merchants in the Philippines can offer an international shipping solution that combines cost-effectiveness with reliable delivery, typically within two to three business days to both the U.S. and Europe.
