Billing
If you have a UPS account number, the fuel surcharge will be included on your weekly bill. If you are an occasional UPS customer and do not receive a weekly bill, a fuel surcharge will be included in your charges.
The following table illustrates the Fuel Surcharge history:
| Effective Start Date | Surcharge |

Standard Fuel Surcharge
The Standard Service Fuel Surcharge applies to all UPS Standard shipments. Changes to the surcharge will be effective on Monday of each week, and are based on the consumer prices of diesel fuel set by the European Commission Directorate General (ECDG), inclusive of duties and taxes from two weeks prior, rounded to the nearest cent. For example the surcharge for the week of 6 February 2017 is based on the diesel fuel price for the week of 23 January 2017. Weekly updates are published by the European Commission Directorate General (ECDG) for Energy and Transport in the Oil Bulletin.
The Standard Service Fuel Surcharge will be set in relation to the following table:
| At Least | But Less Than | Surcharge |
|---|
Note: Fuel surcharge percentages and amounts, associated trigger points and methods of calculation are subject to change without notice.
Fuel Surcharge percentages and thresholds are subject to change without prior notice. Regardless of EIA reported average fuel prices or the table above, the actual fuel surcharge percentages posted will apply for the periods specified.
For the reported jet fuel pricing information, please see the EIA Gulf Coast (USGC) Jet Fuel Prices. If the reported fuel pricing information is delayed, UPS may use reported fuel pricing information from an earlier week.
