The fuel surcharges
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. The surcharge will apply to all shipments until further notice.
Please note that this surcharge is not included in the price quoted by the Price Checker tool on this website.
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.

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.
