The Fuel Surcharge is a variable charge applied to all shipments to account for fluctuations in fuel prices. This transparent mechanism allows us to adjust shipping costs in line with actual fuel market conditions without altering our base shipping rates.
The surcharge is calculated as a percentage of the base shipping rate and is reviewed monthly based on the average fuel price index. The applicable rate is determined by the fuel price benchmark for the region in which the shipment originates.
| Region | Land Transport | Air Freight | Effective Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| North America | 12.5% | 17.0% | 01 Jan 2026 |
| Middle East | 13.0% | 18.5% | 01 Jan 2026 |
| Asia Pacific | 14.0% | 19.0% | 01 Jan 2026 |
| Europe | 13.5% | 18.0% | 01 Jan 2026 |
| Americas | 12.0% | 17.5% | 01 Jan 2026 |
| Africa | 14.5% | 19.5% | 01 Jan 2026 |
For a shipment within the US with a base rate of USD 100, the fuel surcharge at 12.5% would be USD 12.50, bringing the total transportation charge to USD 112.50 (before other applicable surcharges and taxes).
Fuel surcharge rates are reviewed monthly. Below are the rates from the previous quarter for reference:
| Month | North America (Land) | North America (Air) |
|---|---|---|
| December 2025 | 12.0% | 16.5% |
| November 2025 | 11.5% | 16.0% |
