Zonos, a provider of cross-border commerce technology, has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Postal Service to expand its international services by using Zonos’ scalable technology to simplify international commerce.
In addition to delivering mail to over 161 million addresses in the United States, USPS also handles about 46 percent of the world’s mail. Zonos application programming interfaces (APIs) will power USPS services with new features to calculate duty and tax quotes and automate product classification codes for USPS’ international shipments. The USPS integration with the Zonos APIs will provide USPS customers with transparency and insight into the total landed cost for international shipments, a Zonos release said.
“Hundreds of thousands of small and large companies ship internationally with USPS. We are grateful for the trust the postal service has put in Zonos’ cross-border enablement capabilities,” said Clint Reid, founder and CEO of Zonos. “We look forward to helping build and power USPS’ global technology solutions.”
Reid said Zonos is carrier-agnostic, meaning its services can be used by all carriers, consolidators and postal solutions as a landed cost and cross-border technology provider.
