What is EMS international shipping

Hi
My client in Korea wants to ship the good using EMS international shipping. Does anyone know what EMS International Shipping is ? I never heard of EMS, which shipping carrier is that?

It's the Express Mail Service (EMS), from members of the Universal Postal Union

This would be the Express Mail Service (EMS). It's a global brand, operated by local postal services in each country: http://www.ems.coop
For example in Japan it's operated by Japan Post:http://www.post.japanpost.jp/int/ems/index_en.html
And Korea Post:http://www.koreapost.go.kr/eng/service/service02_01.jsp
It's a pretty efficient and fast service, particularly from Japan.

USPS usually handles EMS shipments.
If your client wants you to ship via EMS, USE United States Postal Service EXPRESS MAIL.
Note: not sure if they changed it but last time i checked USPS only offers tracking for international packages when using EXPRESS MAIL
