UPS will implement additional surcharges for various packages traveling to and from the U.S. during September and October, applicable to imports from several European countries, Canada, and India, as well as U.S. exports globally. These surcharges, effective until January 17, 2026, are based on weight or package count and include a fuel surcharge. This move coincides with the peak holiday shipping season, heightening pricing pressures for shippers. Competitor FedEx has also announced similar demand surcharges, but with different rates and timelines.
