Fuel Surcharge

The fuel surcharge percentage for FedEx Express services is adjusted each month, and is based on a rounded average of the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel two months earlier. The fuel surcharge applies to all FedEx Express® services, except FedEx International Express Freight® (IXF) and FedEx International Airport-to-Airport (ATA) services.

The fuel surcharge for each shipment is assessed on the net freight charge and the following transportation-related surcharges:

- Broker Routing Fee (Broker Select);
- Out of Delivery Area (ODA);
- Out of Pickup Area (OPA);
- Residential Delivery Surcharge (RESI)
- Saturday Delivery (SDL); and,
- Saturday Pickup (SPU).

Fuel surcharge percentages and associated trigger points are subject to change without notice. See the Terms and Conditions for more details. If the fuel price equals or rises above US$4.19per gallon, the table above will be updated.

Changes to the FedEx Express fuel surcharges will be applied from the first Monday of each month. The surcharge will be reflected in your FedEx invoice. Information on the fuel surcharge for each month will be available approximately two weeks before the surcharge is applied.

The fuel surcharge percentage for FedEx Express services is adjusted each month, and is based on a rounded average of the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel two months earlier. See the USGC Index for the spot price per gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel. The prices in these indices are published by the U.S. Department of Energy and FedEx is not responsible for the accuracy or completeness of this information.
