Implementation of Shipping Charge Correction Audit Fee

Effective September 30, 2024, a Shipping Charge Correction Audit Fee will be implemented across all International Small Package services.

The fee will be HKD 13.00 per shipment or 8% of the total amount of shipping charge corrections resulting from discrepancies in billed weight, whichever is greater.

Please note that this fee will only apply if the actual billed freight charge is more than 25% of the freight charge at the point of shippers creating the shipment. We strongly encourage shippers to provide accurate package dimensions (L x W x H) when creating a shipment. This fee will not apply to accessorials, including fuel surcharge.

More information can be found in the updated UPS Rate and Service Guide, which will be available for download above from December 22, 2024. A preview version of the updated UPS Rate and Service Guide will be available on this page from November 22, 2024.
