UPS uses an index-based surcharge that is adjusted monthly. Changes to the surcharge will be effective of the first Monday of each month,* and posted approximately two weeks prior to the effective date. The surcharge will be based on the rounded U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) prices for kerosene-type jet fuel reported by the U.S. Department of Energy for the month that is two months prior to the adjustment. For example, the surcharge for February 2012 is based on the December 2011 U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) Jet Fuel Price.
*Note: Changes to the surcharge for the month of January 2013 will be effective as of the last Monday of December 2012.
The following table illustrates the surcharge, effective May 7, 2012: |

Note: Fuel surcharge percentages and amounts, associated trigger points and methods of calculation are subject to change without notice.
The surcharge table above is also valid for customers currently still based on Rotterdam jet fuel prices. |
