Domestic Fuel Surcharge

Due to ongoing fuel price fluctuations, FedEx (trading as TNT Express) applies a fuel surcharge to all domestic shipments. This approach provides our customers with a transparent charging mechanism that reflects changes in fuel-related costs. The domestic fuel surcharge accounts for various fuel-related factors, including changes in diesel prices, estimated fuel-related costs incurred by transport suppliers, and jet fuel-related charges from airline haul providers.

Effective Domestic Fuel Surcharge Rate:

From 2 November 2025 to 29 November 2025: 23%
From 28 September 2025 to 1 November 2025: 22.7%

Each month, FedEx reviews changes in diesel and jet fuel prices over a three-month period.

The fuel surcharge is based on these changes and reflects the share of fuel-related costs in our overall operating expenses, which we review regularly.
