FedEx will introduce new surcharges and modify existing fees starting January 13, 2025. Key changes include a $1.50 inbound processing fee for U.S. imports and a duty and tax forwarding fee, as well as a 40-pound minimum billable weight for packages subject to additional handling surcharges. Additionally, a delivery area surcharge will be applied to new ZIP codes. These adjustments aim to enhance profitability in a challenging demand environment, mirroring similar moves by competitor UPS. The overall impact on customers will vary based on their shipping agreements.
