Simplifying a Global Supply Chain
Electronics distribution is an international business, both in sourcing and distribution. Your manufacturers and customers are all over the world so understanding the ever-changing international trade regulations, taxes and tariffs is vital to keeping operations moving smoothly. It's a daunting challenge that often requires expert help for even the most-informed shipper. FedEx Trade Networks give you a competitive edge with educational tools and resources to ensure you are on top of the most current international shipping standards.
Protecting Your Customers' Orders
Packaging is an important part of your logistics plan as electronics are manufactured globally. Whether you need to send the parts for further manufacturing or to a customer for final use, the electronics may have to travel a long distance under a variety of conditions. So the packaging used must be properly designed to protect the parts. If your customer has ordered semiconductors, computer subsystems or telecommunication devices, the packaging used must give your parts the best chance of traveling through your supply chain and arriving in perfect condition. FedEx offers several ways to assist the electronics supply chain, from resources on the Web, a packaging hotline to a packaging center that offers testing and certification for your packaging and help for you to design the best packaging for your parts.
