Definition
UPS per package rate – this is a Customs Clearance Charge from the courier and is charged for DDP and DAP shipments into the EU. UPS is adding a ‘Brexit fee’ of £2.90 per consignment. This fee is to cover the additional administrative work created by the UK being outside the European Union.
UPS Disbursement Fee – When an item clears customs, a VAT fee will be calculated based on the declared value of the goods sent. If the sender or recipient of the goods has not shipped using a deferment account with the tax authority of the destination country, the carrier will make payment on their behalf. The disbursement fee is the charge the courier applies for this service
