A surcharge per kilogram (or part thereof) is added to the basic price in order to react to changes in the transport market (e.g., rates of air carriers) and meet the significantly increased costs of our transport service providers. It serves to maintain transport services in global or regional freight traffic so that transport obligations to all customers can be met as far as possible, even under changed circumstances.
