We would like to keep you informed about a recent development impacting transportation costs across the industry.
Effective 27 May 2026, a fuel surcharge of 5% on base transportation cost was implemented due to the continued increase in fuel prices. Subsequently, the cascading impact of fuel escalation across the export logistics cycle has further increased inland operating costs, necessitating a revision in the Export Fuel Surcharge (EFS).
Accordingly, the revised EFS applicable on all inland export routes will be effective from 1st June 2026 for NON FMC & 30th June 2026 for FMC, as per the details below:
