Value-added services and surcharges
Value-added services and surcharges
Our value-added services let you customise FedEx services to your specific needs. Non-standard shipments or additional services may incur charges on top of standard transportation costs.
At FedEx, we regularly review our value-added services and surcharges to ensure reliable and efficient service. For any additional changes introduced in 2026, please refer to this page for the latest information.
The following updates take effect on January 2026:
Effective 5 January 2026
- Updated from €2.25 to €2.40 per shipment. This fee is assessed to cover clearance processing for shipments bound for the United States.
- For FedEx® International Connect Plus (FICP) shipments, the fee remains unchanged at €0.90 per shipment.
Effective 12 January 2026
- Simplified surcharge application: If a package qualifies for more than one of the following surcharges (AHS-Dimension, AHS-Packaging, AHS-Weight, Oversize Charge, or Unauthorized Package Charge), only the highest surcharge will apply, after discounts.
- Additional criteria for AHS-Dimension and Oversize: In addition to the current rules, the following will also apply:
- AHS-Dimension: Applies if a package exceeds 169,901 cm³ in volume (length × width × height)
- Oversize Charge: Applies if a package exceeds 283,168 cm³ in volume or weighs more than 50 kg
Need more details? Check our AHS customer guide, your main reference for AHS updates.
NOTE: We reserve the right to assess Additional Handling charges for packages or freight handling units that require special handling or that require FedEx to apply additional packaging during transit. To avoid AHS, please see our packaging guidelines.
Shipments picked up or delivered to remote and less accessible locations are assessed an Out-of-Pickup-Area (OPA) or Out-of-Delivery-Area (ODA) surcharge.
We are updating the postal codes where these surcharges apply.
- Current global postal code list (applicable until 11 January 2026)
- New postal codes (applicable from 12 January 2026)
Ancillary clearance services
To respond effectively to customs or regulatory changes, we may introduce further clearance ancillary updates during the year. These adjustments help us maintain reliable operations and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements.
