Demand Surcharge (formerly known as Peak Surcharge)

As of 4 September 2023, Peak Surcharge will be called Demand Surcharge. During times of elevated shipping volumes, heightened demand for capacity, increased operating costs, and other strains on our network, we may assess a Demand Surcharge. 

*IMPORTANT:

1: The applicability, duration, and amount of the Demand Surcharge is determined for each region based on regular assessments of shipping volume and available capacity within our network and other considerations.

2: Demand Surcharge amounts, associated trigger points, and methods of calculation are subject to change without notice. See the TNT Terms and Conditions of Carriage.

Effective March 7, 2022, we implemented the following Demand Surcharge (formerly known as Peak Surcharge) changes for TNT shipments:

  • For shipments from China and APAC* to Europe, the Demand Surcharge was increased from €1.10 to €1.30 per kilo.
  • For shipments from Europe to the US/Canada, China, APAC, and Rest of the World, the Demand Surcharge was increased from €0.20 to €0.30 per kilo.
