<h1 class="mt-0">What is a fuel surcharge (FSC)?</h1>
<p>The fuel surcharge (FSC) is charged based on the current price variations on the fuel. It is usually the receiver who pays for the fuel surcharge, and the reason is to compensate for the volatility of the fuel prices. This surcharge can be applied to several transportation modes, from road freight to air freight or ocean freight transport.</p>
