Air Freight Fuel Surcharge Decrease Notification
Effective February 8, 2007
(French)

Issue 005, February 6, 2007

Due to the recent decreases in the price of crude oil, our airline partners have notified us that they will decrease their fuel surcharge, in line with their published index notification system. As a result, DHL Global Forwarding is pleased to pass on this reduction in the Fuel Surcharge (FSC) to take effect on February 8th, 2006.

The USA Fuel Surcharge will apply to all international and domestic shipments. The FSC on international air freight shipments ex USA will decrease from the current USD 0.50/kg to USD 0.45/kg, with no change to the minimum. On import shipments the charge will be the local currency equivalent and subject to specific governmental regulations.

For our Domestic Air Services, Next Flight Out, Next Day AM, Next Day, Second Day and Three Day Services, the FSC is decreasing to USD 0.22/lb, with the minimum remaining at USD 6.00.

The FSC for Domestic Surface or Roadmaster shipments will be at 14.5% with a minimum of USD 6.00.

For Canadian international and transborder shipments the Fuel Surcharge is decreasing from CAD 0.63/kg to CAD 0.52/kg with the minimum remaining at CAD 5.00.

If you require additional information or clarification, please contact your local DHL Global Forwarding sales representative.

Sincerely,
