A Fuel Surcharge is an additional fee added to the shipping cost by courier companies to account for fluctuations in fuel prices. The surcharge is meant to compensate for the increased operational costs due to the rise in fuel prices. This fee is usually a percentage of the base shipping cost and is subject to change based on market conditions. It is a common practice in the shipping industry to pass on fuel cost increases to customers through fuel surcharges.
