Surcharges
DHL Exel Surcharge Information
Customers of the former Exel, who now form part of either DHL Global Forwarding or DHL Exel Supply Chain, should still refer to the jet fuel price index and airline surcharges as per usual.
The Fuel Surcharge (FSC) depends on the actual price for jet fuel. DHL Global Forwarding must collect this for the carriers without adding any profit margin; this is a pass-through cost only.

After the terrorist attacks of September 9 2001, all carriers had to increase their security measures tremendously, also for air freight transportation. To cover these and their heavily increased insurance costs, they implemented the Security Surcharge (SSC). DHL Global Forwarding must collect this for the carriers without adding any profit margin; this is a pass-through cost only.
