New collaboration helps ecommerce brands navigate de minimis changes and rising tariffs with a turnkey international shipping and fulfillment solution
PALO ALTO, April 30, 2025 — Passport, a leading international ecommerce solutions provider, today announced a new partnership with ShipBob, a leading global supply chain and fulfillment platform for small and mid-market ecommerce merchants. This partnership makes it easier than ever for ShipBob merchants to expand globally using Passport’s Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) shipping solution—part of Passport Global, an all-in-one solution for international compliance, cross-border logistics, and local market enablement.
The collaboration provides a turnkey, DDP experience for merchants fulfilling orders from the U.S. With duties and taxes prepaid at checkout, shoppers receive a transparent landed cost, eliminating surprise fees at delivery and reducing cart abandonment. On the backend, merchants benefit from simplified compliance, faster customs clearance, and a more reliable international shipping experience.
“ShipBob is a vital part of the international growth journey for many of our customers, and we’re thrilled to deepen our partnership,” said Alex Yancher, CEO & Co-Founder at Passport. “Together, we’re delivering a seamless DDP shipping solution as part of our broader Passport Global offering, which also includes compliance support, tariff mitigation, and localized in-country fulfillment. This partnership empowers ShipBob merchants to scale into new markets with ease and confidence, regardless of the changing tariff and global trade landscape.”
In addition to enabling cross-border DDP shipping, ShipBob is also a launch partner for Passport’s in-country fulfillment program. This allows brands to position inventory closer to their international customers in key markets like Canada, the UK, the EU, and Australia—unlocking faster shipping, reduced costs, and new opportunities for marketplace sales and retail distribution.
“Our mission at ShipBob is to help brands drive more revenue by reaching more customers, no matter where they live, while saving money and time,” said Casey Armstrong, CMO at ShipBob. “By integrating Passport’s DDP shipping capabilities into our fulfillment network, we’re enabling our merchants to deliver a premium experience to international customers while simplifying operations on the backend. This partnership is a major unlock for brands looking to go global.”
Passport Global gives ecommerce brands a flexible, end-to-end solution to internationalize at their own pace. Whether launching with cross-border shipping, establishing a local fulfillment footprint, or scaling on international marketplaces, Passport’s unified platform helps brands reduce operational complexity and accelerate growth.
This announcement adds to Passport’s growing roster of strategic partnerships aimed at simplifying global commerce. Additional partners include Flexport, Loop Returns, EasyPost, ProShip, Corso, and more.
