Fuel Surcharges

The fuel surcharges

Due to continuing fuel price fluctuations, TNT applies an index-based surcharge to all shipments until further notice.  This approach provides our customers with a fair and transparent charging mechanism for fuel costs. 

European invoicing countries (excluding UK and Ireland)

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 an extensive 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 North and South America are based on the US Gulf Coast (USGC) spot price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel. This method is closely aligned to the North and South market price for jet fuel.
