What Is FAA Group’s Fuel Levy Surcharge?
The below information relating to our fuel levy surcharge is added to all freight rates.
Fuel Levy = ((((CF/1.1)-CR)-BF)/BF) *0.32
CF = current fuel (national average diesel price as published by AIP for each week ending of previous month divided by number of weeks)
CR = diesel fuel current rebate
BF = base fuel (when FAA started applying fuel levy; this is a net value, ex rebate and GST)
How Are Charges Calculated by Weight for Shipments?
For large-light weight shipments, our shipment rates are calculated on the greater value between the actual weight of the shipment and the volumetric weight measures in kilograms.
To calculate the volumetric weight, simply multiply the WIDTH by the LENGTH by the HEIGHT of your shipment (in metres) by 333.
Our volumetric (or cubic) conversion factor is 333 kilograms per cubic metre.
E.g., 0.9 * 0.6 * 0.5 * 333 = 89.91 kgs
