Current Indexed Fuel Surcharge

USA LOGISTICS utilizes an indexed fuel surcharge 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.

These surcharges are based on the spot price for fuel, and are applicable to all USA LOGISTICS products, except for the following services: USA LOGISTICS Same Day, USA LOGISTICS Global Forwarding, USA LOGISTICS Global Mail and USA LOGISTICS Solutions.

International and Domestic Air Express Fuel Surcharge

The International Air Express indexed surcharge calculation is linked to the monthly rounded average of the U.S. Gulf Coast (USGC) price for a gallon of kerosene-type jet fuel as published by the U.S. Department of Energy

To view the current USGC rounded average go to the U.S. Gulf Coast line on the U.S. Jet Fuel page. To view a three month historical overview of the Air Express and International Fuel Surcharge please click here.

NOTE: Clicking to the USGC index links will open a new external website outside of www.USALogistics.net and will open an Adobe Acrobat PDF file.

Fuel surcharge percentages, associated trigger points and basis for calculation are subject to change without notice. The calculation for fuel surcharge includes the following fees (where applicable): On Demand Pickup; Delivery Area Service; Remote Area Service; Residential Delivery; Saturday Delivery; Saturday Pickup; Large Package; Excess Limits Fees; Pickup & Return on Demand (PROD).

There is a two-month lag between the fuel price index and the fuel surcharge. For example, the fuel surcharge for March 2009 is based on the January 2009 average spot price of fuel.
