UPS uses an index-based surcharge that is adjusted monthly. Changes to the surcharge will be effective the first Monday of each month and posted approximately two weeks prior to the effective date. For your billing convenience, we will also post a 90-day fuel surcharge history. The National Services and International Standard Service Fuel Surcharge will apply to all National shipments as well as all European and Worldwide Standard shipments. The Surcharge will be based on the last week of the month average consumer prices of diesel fuel inclusive of duties and taxes from 2 months prior. Weekly updates are published by the European Commission Directorate General for Energy and Transport in the Oil Bulletin.
