Amid 2025’s ecommerce challenges with rising tariffs and shipping disruptions, our Summer Release offers brands smarter solutions to combat cross-border issues and reduce tariff exposure for a successful peak season.

U.S. Duty Drawback

Worried about U.S. tariffs hurting your bottom line?

Passport Global

Enterprise ecommerce brands need the right internationalization technology to meet their global demand. That’s why we’re introducing our Passport Global enterprise toolkit that enables global shopping experiences for brands with fully custom-built ecommerce websites, BigCommerce and WooCommerce.

This toolkit enables brands to:

  • Accelerate international sales with advisory support

  • Eliminate surprise fees with accurate duty and tax calculations
  • Enjoy fully managed international regulatory compliance
  • Offer flexible Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) and Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) delivery options

Passport Global In-Country Enablement: United States and Mexico


Earlier this year, Passport expanded the Passport Global offering to enable brands to establish local operations in the United Kingdom, Europe, Canada and Australia with our In-Country Enablement solution. Now, we’re expanding to support brands seeking to establish local operations in the United States and Mexico to help minimize the impact of U.S. tariffs and get closer to their customers in America and Mexico, lower costs, and provide a better shipping and returns experience.

Passport Shipping

 

Outbound Shipping from the United Kingdom

Passport Shipping has enabled thousands of brands in the United States and Canada to effortlessly deliver all over the world. Now, brands in the United Kingdom can leverage the parcel shipping service that makes international feel as easy as domestic.


With this, brands in the United Kingdom can enjoy:

  • Reliable delivery to 180+ markets
  • Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) and Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU) shipping
  • Priority, Express and Expedited options
  • World-class tracking & visibility
  • Responsive support for their own customers

Plus, UK brands can also leverage Passport Global: Cross-Border Management to enjoy high-converting localized storefronts, compliance wherever they sell, and reliable in-house cross-border shipping.

Shopify Plus Checkout Upgrade: Discount Codes

Discounts are key for customers but can lead to international customers paying more than necessary if duties and taxes aren’t recalculated. Our Shopify Plus extension ensures correct duty and tax calculations by triggering a new shipping rate request after discounts are applied.

Shopify Plus Checkout Upgrade: Customer Tax ID Collection

Our new Shopify Plus checkout upgrade allows brands to collect customer tax IDs for applicable countries, preventing delivery delays and improving successful deliveries.

    Streamlined Workflows to Save You Time

    At Passport, we believe giving our customers full visibility into their shipments and making it easy to work with us aren’t just nice to have – they’re essential for building trust. That’s why we’re making it even easier to find the information most important to you on our free Passport Portal.

    Search & Filter Shipments by Milestone Status

    Now when filtering shipments, you can easily find values in long dropdown lists with a new search bar in each filter. No more wasted time scrolling!

    Print Multiple Bills of Lading & Shipping Labels

    This one is for our 3PL partners and brands who fulfill their own shipments. Need to ship your goods to a Passport facility? Now you can create up to ten bills of lading and generate multiple labels at the same time. 

    Customize Shipment Filters & Columns

    Choose exactly which columns you want to see – and drag and drop them to reorder however you want to build the table layout that fits your work style.

    Save Box Dimensions & Ship With Your Own Label

    Have your own label already? We’ve got you covered. Now you can share information for multiple shipments to Passport at the same time. Use the same box sizes often? You can save those too to eliminate future manual entries.

    Warehouse Automation for Greater Efficiencies

    Speaking of Passport’s facilities – those are getting an upgrade too. We’re rolling out automation at our key sorting hubs in the United States to sort parcels faster and more quickly and reliably deliver to your international customers.

    As you consider your peak season strategy, are you leaving money on the table by not providing the right digital and shipping experience to your customers?
    Let’s help you have your most successful peak season.

    Now we have a full-fledged eight figure international business where we are spending money and investing in specific markets. And we’re seeing those results show up.
