FUEL SURCHARGE

With changes in fuel prices affecting the logistics industry, Team Global Express standardised and reset its fuel surcharge (FSC) mechanism and freight rates, as of March 2023, to simplify how we pass on fuel costs to our customers. The fuel surcharge may increase, decrease, or remain constant depending on the movement in fuel prices.

How to calculate your fuel surcharge

To provide greater transparency into how we calculate the fuel surcharge, we have provided the new formula which will be applied in calculating the surcharge:
FSC = (Current Fuel Price - Base Fuel Price) / Base Fuel Price x BU's Fuel Component Weighting.
