Finding Surcharges
Extended Area Surcharge
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.
Surge Emergency Fees
Surge emergency fees may be implemented based on regular assessments of shipping volume, available capacity and other considerations at UPS’ discretion.
Recent Rate Changes
Effective May 1, 2026, UPS will introduce a Pre-Release Notification (PRN) Surcharge for import shipments entering India, Indonesia and Vietnam, where a pre-release notification is requested by the consignee/shipper, or when the UPS Brokerage team must proactively contact the consignee to obtain missing or incomplete information required for customs clearance.
We strongly encourage all shippers to ensure that all shipment information and documentation are complete and accurate, in line with customs requirements, at the point of shipment creation.
