FedEx says the tools are packaged under the name Global Trade Navigator and are meant to help businesses look up tariff codes, estimate costs and handle customs requirements before packages reach international borders. The carrier describes the launch as a response to a dynamic global environment.

For independent merchants and fulfilment teams, that points to earlier cross-border preparation: checking tariff codes and customs requirements, and estimating shipping costs before dispatch. FedEx has not said which store platforms or checkout flows the tools touch, or whether they plug into existing merchant systems.
