FedEx and UPS are once again imposing surcharges on shipments from China, Hong Kong, and neighboring regions as the U.S. prepares to end duty-free treatment for small-value imports.

FedEx has reinstated a 45 cents-per-pound surcharge on packages from China, Hong Kong, and the Philippines, with a $1 minimum per parcel, in effect until May 2. UPS also reimposed a 29-cent-per-pound “surge fee” on shipments from China and Hong Kong.


These surcharges mirror similar measures the two logistics giants adopted earlier this year in response to rising import volumes and costs, coming just ahead of the U.S.’s formal termination of the “de minimis” duty exemption for Chinese shipments.
