Fuel surcharge

Due to continuing fuel price fluctuations, TNT is implementing an index-based surcharge. This approach provides our customers with a fair and transparent charging mechanism for fuel costs. All shipments sent on or after the 1st of January 2005 will be subject to the surcharge.

European invoicing countries

The fuel surcharge for European invoicing countries is based on the London Brent Crude Oil spot price. Brent Crude Oil is the base material for the production of Jet Fuel and Truck Diesel. This is a fair index base in Europe where TNT has a unique air and road network.

These charges are not applicable to customers invoiced in the UK or Ireland.

Non-European invoicing countries (excluding Americas)

The fuel surcharge for Non-European invoicing countries, excluding Americas, is based on the Jet Fuel spot price for jet kerosene (Rotterdam ARA). Jet kerosene closely links the fuel surcharge to the prevailing market price for jet fuel.

American invoicing countries (North and South America)

The fuel surcharge for Americas is based on the US Gulf Coast (USGC) spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel. This method is closely aligned to the Americas market price for jet fuel.
