Enhanced Security Surcharge
TNT is implementing additional procedures, activities and investments to safeguard our customers' shipments while in our custody, following recent well-publicised incidents involving the international transportation of shipments containing illegal explosive devices. To partially offset the additional costs, an Enhanced Security Surcharge will be applied from 1 January 2011, onward.
In Canada, an ESS of $0.07/kg will be applied to all shipments transported internationally. The ESS has a minimum charge of $0.70 and maximum charge of $14.00 per consignment.
