Understanding your invoice
When shipping consignments with TNT, the following surcharges apply:
We provide collection and delivery services virtually anywhere you require. For certain remote and less-accessible locations an additional out-of-area surcharge is applied to cover additional costs incurred.
TNT reserves the right to assess fuel and other surcharges on shipments without notice. The amount and duration of any such surcharges will be determined at our sole discretion. By tendering your shipments to TNT, you agree to pay the surcharges, as determined by TNT.
Beginning September 4, 2023, the "Peak surcharge" will be renamed as "Demand surcharge".
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.
Demand Surcharge will be determined at TNT’s sole discretion and subject to the terms and conditions provided in TNT Service Guide and TNT Standard Conditions of Carriage of shipment origin country. TNT reserves the right to amend the Demand Surcharge, including but not limited to the rates, duration, applicable areas or any other conditions. TNT may also, at its sole discretion, cancel, modify or adjust any waiver of Demand Surcharge by prior notice.
