DHL Express Canada Join ViaTrade.

OTTAWA -- ViaSafe announced today that DHL Express and ViaSafe have signed a contract enabling DHL to use ViaSafe's ViaTrade services. The ViaTrade services will enable DHL to clear international packages more efficiently; reduce transit times and improve service; and reduce the associated costs to DHL.

"At DHL we are always looking for ways to provide further value to our customers," says DHL Canada Senior Vice-President Operations John Ferreira. "We expect ViaTrade will improve efficiencies and reduce the costs associated with facilitating the clearance process."

ViaTrade is an e-business service designed to increase border security and improve cross-border trade flow between United States and Canada. ViaTrade accomplishes this task by facilitating data exchange between carriers and customs brokers/importers. ViaTrade ensures that the comprehensive data required for border clearance is provided electronically--before shipments arrive at the Canada-U.S border.

"ViaTrade has the unique ability to connect carriers, brokers and government agencies with continuously updated directories which automatically send the right documents to the right participants in a timely fashion," - Oryst Dydynsky President, ViaSafe International Trade Services.

ViaSafe is determined to bring the transportation industry closer to its goal of a transparent and secure cross-border system--a system that accelerates border clearance and reduces the abundance of daily paper documentation.
