We regret to advise that the international oil market is placing continuing upward pressure on the price of Crude Oil, and its related derivatives. These most recent increases have caused the Fuel Price Index to move beyond its existing threshold. Consequently, DHL Global Forwarding is now receiving notification letters from our Carrier Partners announcing they are increasing their Fuel Surcharges. This only represents a change for areas highlighted and will be effective as outlined below:
| Service | Currency | Current Minimum | New Minimum | Current Rate | New Rate | Effective Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA International Air Freight | USD | 5.00 | 5.00 | 0.70/kg | 0.80/kg | 26-Nov-07 |
| USA to Israel | USD | N/A | N/A | 0.78/kg | 0.85/kg | 20-Nov-07 |
| USA to Latin America Air Freight | USD | 5.00 | 5.00 | 0.95/kg | 1.00/kg | 24-Dec-07 |
