The Federal Express Corp. was recognized as the 2025 Top Importer for the Port of Clark by the Bureau of Customs (BOC).
The distinction marks the first time the express transportation firm has received the top honor at this port, following an evaluation of its revenue contributions and adherence to national trade regulations.
The BOC cited the company for its disciplined operational processes and collaboration with regulatory authorities. The award highlights the company’s role in facilitating trade within the Clark Freeport Zone, a key economic hub in the Philippines.
“This recognition underscores the vital role FedEx plays in enabling trade, supporting our customers, and contributing to the continued growth of the Clark Freeport Zone and the broader Philippine economy,” FedEx Philippines managing-director Maribeth Espinosa said.
“It also reaffirms our unwavering commitment to compliance, which is fundamental to how we operate,” said Espinosa.
The evaluation process conducted by the BOC focused on transparent customs procedures and consistent compliance with the country’s import laws. While specific revenue figures were not disclosed in the announcement, the agency said the company’s high volume of shipments significantly boosted the port’s total collections.
Company officials said the award reflects the efforts of team members to maintain secure supply chain operations for various industries.
The recognition comes as the company continues to expand its footprint in the Asia-Pacific region to meet growing logistics demand.
