Some carriers are billing a temporary Emergency Situation Fee to some countries, due to increased air freight rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. The fee varies by carrier and country. This fee is charged by the carrier, and expected to be temporary. The fee is based on the chargeable weight of the parcel, which may be dimensional weight or actual weight, whichever is higher. We do not make any money off of this fee, we bill it exactly as we are billed.

The current fees are:
