Canada Post manages the largest, most intricate transportation network in Canada. As a transportation company, we are directly impacted by changes in fuel prices. We apply a fuel surcharge on our parcel services based on whether the service is express, non-express or Priority™ Worldwide.

Updates to surcharges made monthly

We adjust fuel surcharges monthly—up or down—as fuel prices change. Changes are applied the first Monday of each month and are reflected on your invoice.

Check back here for updates every month. We publish the new surcharges about one week in advance.

The Fuel Surcharges are as follows:

September 7, 2020 through October 4, 2020:

Domestic Express and Non-Express Services 5.00% U.S. and International Express Services 6.75% U.S. and International Non-Express Services 4.75% PriorityTM Worldwide 1.75%

How we calculate fuel surcharges

Domestic Services

Domestic express and non-express surcharges are based on the average price of diesel as measured by Kent Group Ltd., an independent company that monitors fuel prices in Canada. Each month, we review the fuel surcharge and adjust it in accordance with the domestic fuel surcharge index, shown below.

Domestic express services include Priority and Xpresspost™

Domestic non-express services include Expedited Parcel™ and Regular Parcel™.

Priority Worldwide

The Priority Worldwide fuel surcharge is based on the monthly average U.S. jet fuel spot price published by the U.S. Department of Energy. We use the same index as FedEx uses for most FedEx Express Canadian export Services. Each month we review the fuel surcharge and adjust it in accordance with the Priority Worldwide Fuel Surcharge Index.

The Priority Worldwide fuel surcharge is assessed on the net shipment rate.
