FEDEX SIGNS ALLIANCE DEAL WITH AUSTRADE

FedEx and the Australian Trade Commission (Austrade), have signed a two-year alliance agreement to expand trade between Australia and the United States. Through this alliance, U.S. and Australian businesses will have the tools to better take advantage of the Australia-United States Free Trade Agreement, which was effective in January 2005. Through the agreement, more than 99 per cent of U.S.-manufactured goods exported to Australia are duty-free. The alliance calls for FedEx to promote to its customers Austrade's worldwide export assistance network of 100 locations in more than 50 countries. The agreement also supports joint activities between FedEx and Austrade, including Web site links, joint export promotion, sales force training and direct marketing campaigns.
