We would like to inform you of an upcoming adjustment to the U.S. Disbursement Fee, effective May 11, 2026. For applicable shipments, the minimum U.S. disbursement fee will increase from $14 to $17. This update applies only to:
- Customers shipping into the US
- EMEA shippers using the Export Free Domicile (EFD) billing term
No other EMEA customers or billing terms are impacted by this change.
The disbursement fee applies when customs duties, taxes, or other government charges are advanced on behalf of the payer and is based on the intrinsic value of the shipment and the amount advanced.
