FedEx will implement the following changes to fees and other surcharges, effective Jan. 5, 2009:

Fuel Surcharge

For FedEx Express® shipments, the fuel price at which surcharges begin will be adjusted, resulting in a 2% overall fuel surcharge reduction. Fuel surcharges are set based on fluctuations in average prices of kerosene-type jet fuel published by the U.S. Department of Energy.

For FedEx Express shipments, the related fuel surcharge is assessed on the net package rate plus applicable extended area and Saturday service surcharges.
