This scheme creates\nnew costs in the destination country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe US tariffs are actually imposed there, when the goods enter. So\nit\u2019s not from the shipping side here,\u201d she said in Jakarta on Monday\n(13\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Ida Ayu views tariffs as unavoidable in global trade. Business\noperators need certainty in information.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTariffs cannot be avoided. What customers need is visibility and\nclear information,\u201d she clarified.<\/p>\n<p>FedEx utilises its position as a US-based company to obtain\ninformation more quickly. This information is then conveyed to\ncustomers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we are US-based, the information we get is earlier and\nclearer. That\u2019s what we pass on to customers,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Tariff information is translated into practical guidance. FedEx\nprovides a digital system to calculate tariff estimates before\nshipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have built a system where customers can input the goods\ndescription, then immediately know the tariff estimate before the goods\nare shipped,\u201d she revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith technology and automation, tariff information can be provided\nin advance. So customers can be better prepared,\u201d said Ida Ayu.<\/p>",
