Providing service to and from less populated or accessible domestic and international areas carries higher operating costs. The extended and remote area surcharges are assessed to more accurately reflect the cost of providing service to these areas.
Fuel Surcharge
Applies to transportation charges for select UPS services and accessorial charges.
Demand Surcharges
Effective September 28, 2025, a Demand Surcharge will apply to packages that require additional handling and large packages until January 17, 2026. The existing Demand Surcharge for parcels that meet the specifications for over maximum limits will increase.
International Processing Fee
Effective 8 September 2025, an International Processing Fee (IPF) of 2.50 USD per shipment (2.35 EUR or the local currency equivalent) will apply to all import shipments into the United States from all regions.
Surge Fees
Effective March 8, 2026, a Surge Fee will apply to shipments on selected services and lanes until further notice. Surge Fees are subject to change.
Pre-Release Notification Fee
Effective 12 April 2026, the Pre-Release Notification Fee will apply when customer contact is required prior to releasing a shipment due to incomplete or inaccurate information, to cover the additional costs of handling customs clearance for import shipments into Europe.
