Which of the following enter into a service agreement to act on behalf of FedEx in non-U.S. locations?

• A. Global Service Participants (GSP)
• B. Global Service Partners (GSP)
• C. Global Shipping Agents (GSA)
• D. Non-U.S. Agent Network

Answer: (A)

Global Service Participants are the entities that enter into a service agreement with FedEx to act on FedEx’s behalf in non-U.S. locations. This designation signals an official, contract-based relationship where these participants operate as the local extension of FedEx, following FedEx standards, processes, and branding to handle on-the-ground tasks, coordination with the international network, customer support, pickup and delivery, and other service activities abroad. The emphasis is on formal approval and contractual responsibility to represent FedEx in those markets, ensuring consistency and reliability across borders. Other terms suggest different kinds of relationships. Global Service Partners might refer to collaborators in the network but not necessarily those who sign a binding service agreement to represent FedEx operationally. Global Shipping Agents describe brokers who facilitate shipments and paperwork rather than acting as FedEx representatives with a formal contract. Non-U.S. Agent Network is a generic description and not the specific FedEx program name for individuals or entities that formally operate on FedEx’s behalf abroad.
