Demand Surcharge
Demand Surcharge (Mainland China)
During times of elevated shipping volumes, heightened demand for capacity, increased operating costs, and other strains on our network, FedEx may apply a demand surcharge.

From February 1, 2025 to May 31, 2025, Demand Surcharge remains for certain FedEx international shipments using Tariff Pricing rates for other destinations.
