United States Inland Fuel Surcharge

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has had a considerable impact on the international fuel market. As a result, many refineries within the region are either offline or operating at reduced capacity, and export ability is very limited. This circumstance has led to substantial disruptions in global fuel supply chains and inland solutions across the United States.

Due to recent fluctuations in fuel supply and increased distribution costs, we will be implementing a temporary Inland Fuel Surcharge (IFS/EFS) where Maersk is responsible for completing the on land truck move. For shipments booked on or after April 18, the surcharge will be $140 USD subject to applicable laws and regulatory requirements.

Due to the fluidity in fuel prices, the inland fuel surcharge will be calculated based on the weekly average fuel price published by the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). This will be done under the following criteria:

• If the 13 week average is above $2.52 per gallon, a fuel surcharge may be applied
• If the 13 week average is not above $2.52 per gallon, no fuel surcharge will be applied

Maersk reserves the right to activate the Export Fuel Surcharge (EFS) and Import Fuel Surcharge (IFS) when the trailing 13 week fuel average exceeds $2.52 per gallon. As of March 26, 2026, based on the EIA, the U.S. average for on highway diesel is $5.30 per gallon.
