...One of our small-business clients in California was able to increase sales almost 19,000 percent in five years and create a supply chain that wraps around the world with no physical headquarters and only 32 employees. This was possible due to its imagination and entrepreneurial spirit, and also because of access to markets around the globe and an ability to get its products to its customers. Free trade creates growth.
FedEx regularly ships high-tech products, pharmaceuticals, auto parts, medical equipment and many other goods to Korea, Panama and Colombia.

Each day our FedEx teams work to ensure that every experience our customers have with us is outstanding. I am proud to lead our international team and help our customers reach new markets and new consumers for their goods and services. But to ensure our customers grow their international business, it is critically important that they have the resources and know-how to reach those new markets and consumers.

Once again, FedEx has been entrusted to transport giant pandas internationally, this time from the U.S. to China. On February 4, the “FedEx Panda Express” – a custom-decaled 777F aircraft – will take flight from Washington, D.C. with two giant pandas destined for their new homes in China.
Tai Shan, a 4-and-a-half-year-old male panda, and Mei Lan, a 3-year-old female panda, were both born in the U.S. and will depart for China as part of broader giant panda conservation programs designed to help save this endangered species.
