FedEx Fuel Surcharge – September 2025 India Update
Published by Singh International Xpress | September 2025
Fuel prices change globally every week, and courier companies adjust their costs accordingly. FedEx, one of the world’s top express logistics providers, applies a fuel surcharge to cover these fluctuations. For September 2025, here’s what customers in India need to know.
What is the FedEx Fuel Surcharge?
The FedEx Fuel Surcharge is an extra percentage fee added to the base shipping cost. It helps FedEx manage:
Rising jet fuel costs for international air services
Increasing diesel prices for ground shipments
Global market volatility
Unlike DHL (which updates monthly), FedEx updates its fuel surcharge weekly, making it more dynamic.
FedEx Fuel Surcharge – September 2025
| Service Type | August 2025 (Avg.) | September 2025 (Current) |
|---|---|---|
| FedEx Express (International Air) | ~ 28% – 30%* | Around 29% – 31%* |
| FedEx Ground / Road Network | ~ 17% – 19%* | Around 18% – 20%* |
*Exact percentages vary weekly based on U.S. Gulf Coast jet fuel and U.S. national diesel prices. FedEx updates rates every Monday on its official surcharge page.
📌 For Indian shippers, the Express Fuel Surcharge (air-based) is most relevant, since parcels from Punjab to USA, Canada, UK, and Europe primarily use FedEx Express International.
Why FedEx Adjusted the September 2025 Surcharge
Global jet fuel costs have stayed high after August’s surge.
Seasonal back-to-school and pre-festive demand increased shipping volumes.
Fuel market instability led to surcharge levels remaining near 30%.
