Additional Charges

Charges to a payer's account in a foreign currency will be converted to the payer's currency using a weekly exchange rate secured through major money centre banks.

If the receiver or a third party is selected to pay the transportation charges and the bill-to account is incorrect or missing, UPS searches its records for the correct account number. Whether or not the account number is found, a processing fee per shipment is billed back to the shipper.

An account number is invalid if it is not the correct account number for the bill-to party, or if it is the account number for a consignee or third party who fails to pay the shipping charges:

A fee charge per shipment will be assessed for international shipments with a missing or invalid account number.

When the "Duty and Tax Forwarding Surcharge" billing option is selected, a surcharge will be billed to the shipper.

Please refer to the above Additional Charges table for more information.

Additional Handling applies to the following:

• Any article that is encased in an outside shipping container made of metal or wood

Extended Area Surcharge
UPS provides a pickup delivery service in extended, as well as urban, areas. An additional charge applies for each shipment that is picked up or delivered in an extended area.

In order to expedite customs clearance, UPS may advance duty and taxes on behalf of the payer, as dictated by the billing option selected. A Disbursement Fee based on the amount advanced will be assessed and billed to the payer. This fee is shown in the Additional Charges table.

Additional delivery attempts may have additional charges.

When the "Delivery Duty Paid, V.A.T. Unpaid" billing option is selected, a surcharge will be billed to the shipper.

Please refer to the above Additional Charges table for more information.
