"Thailand Express Clearance System" is a comprehensive client-server solution that covers almost the entire scope of Thailand's customs clearance process
BANGKOK, November 16, 1999 - Federal Express (FedEx), the world's
largest express transportation company, has announced the introduction
at its Bangkok airport facilities of a new comprehensive custom
clearance system, called "Thailand Express Clearance System."
Running with Windows operating systems, this complete client-server
solution covers almost the entire scope of the Thai customs clearance
process and includes:
- Duty and tax calculations based on harmonized codes with Thai
customs
- Generation of the official duty and tax receipts from the Thai
customs authority
- Electronic data interchange through direct connection with the
customs
- Information management and control for all duty and tax operations
- Built-in customer database for customized services and personal
attention to customers
"This new system will enable us to further enhance the quality
of our services to our Thai customers," said Rhicke Jennings, FedEx
Managing Director for Singapore and Thailand.
"We are very pleased to support the Thai Customs Department in
their automation efforts. It illustrates the excellent cooperation
and strong working relationship between FedEx and the Royal Thai
Customs", he added.
FedEx first introduced services to Thailand in 1983 and today the
company has grown to a staff of 291 employees. FedEx operations
in Thailand comprise a total of three service centers or "drop off"
locations and four stations for sorting and distribution purposes.
Operating its own wide-bodied MD-11 aircraft, FedEx has five weekly
flights from Bangkok to its Asia Pacific Hub in Subic Bay (the Philippines).
This provides customers in Thailand with overnight connectivity
to 17 Asian destinations and delivery to most of North America by
10:30 am in two business days.
