EMS is the international express service of the UPU postal network, operated by national posts such as China Post, USPS, and Japan Post. EMS parcels carry fast, cross-border delivery expectations.
Trace accepts EMS tracking numbers and returns a normalized event timeline, so EMS shipments can be tracked through the same API as commercial couriers like DHL and FedEx.
