Solutions Include First "Paperless" International Shipping Option; Help Streamline Customs and Returns

ATLANTA, June 18, 2008 - As U.S. businesses face challenges associated with a sluggish domestic economy, many are looking to markets overseas. Two technology-enabled services from UPS (NYSE:UPS) are making it easier than ever for businesses large and small to expand beyond U.S. shores - and helping them go green while they're at it.

Introduced in January, the industry-first solutions - UPS Paperlesssm Invoice and international UPS Returns® - now are available within the UPS Shipping Tool, an application program interface (API) that enables customers to integrate them into their own web sites and enterprise applications. They're already helping thousands of UPS customers manage shipments to 98 countries and territories around the world via UPS shipping systems like UPS WorldShip®, UPS CampusShip™ and UPS Internet Shipping.

"It's more important than ever for small- and medium-sized companies to look at global markets and to leverage technology to act 'big,' even as they retain the flexibility of a smaller company," said Jordan Colletta, UPS vice president of customer technology marketing. "With the spotlight on operational costs, these UPS services allow businesses of all sizes to overcome some of the complications of operating internationally in a cost-effective manner."
