Title: 0036 - Outbound International end-to-end Delivery Service from Ireland to the United States
Description: This is a call to competition by AN POST for an outbound international end-to-end delivery service to the US . This will involve transportation services from Ireland, customs clearance and final mile delivery in the US along with a return service solution.
