DHL Global Mail
Fuel Surcharge
Current Indexed Fuel Surcharge
DHL Global Mail utilizes an indexed fuel surcharge that is adjusted monthly, based upon the fuel prices published monthly by the U.S. Department of Energy. This method closely links fuel surcharges to current fuel prices and adjusts quickly to changes up or down in fuel prices. Changes to the surcharge will be effective the first day of each month and posted no later than the 15th of the month prior to the effective date.
The International fuel surcharge will apply to all international mail and parcel charges. The Domestic Expedited fuel surcharge applies to all domestic mail and parcel Expedited charges. The Domestic Budget surcharge applies to all domestic mail and parcel Budget charges.
