Air Freight Fuel Surcharge Decrease Notification - Effective November 21, 2005

Issue 495, November 10, 2005

Due to the steady downturn in the price of crude oil, our carrier partners have notified us that they will decrease their fuel surcharge, in line with their published index notification system. As a result, DHL Danzas Air & Ocean is pleased to pass on this reduction in the FSC to take effect on November 21, 2005.

The USA Fuel Surcharge (FSC) will apply to all international and domestic shipments. The FSC on international air freight shipments from the USA will decrease by USD 0.05 USD/kg to USD 0.55/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 0.25/lb from USD 0.27/lb, with the minimum remaining at USD 6.00. The FSC for Domestic Surface shipments will remain USD 0.07/lb, with the minimum of USD 6.00.

For Canadian international and transborder shipments the Fuel Surcharge is decreasing to CAD 0.67/kg with the minimum remaining at CAD 5.00.

If you require additional information or clarification, please contact your local DHL Danzas Air & Ocean representative. Your continued support and understanding regarding this situation is very much appreciated.

Sincerely,
