Demand Surcharge (formerly known as Peak 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 January 1, 2024, we will implement the following Demand Surcharge (formerly known as Peak Surcharge) changes for TNT shipments:

  • For intra-Europe (export and import) shipments, the Demand Surcharge will be removed.

The Demand Surcharge will be reflected on your invoice.
