FedEx’s International Processing Fee Rose Recently
That’s not to say that the many regulatory shakeups from the current government administration haven’t impacted FedEx at all: Last month, the company did increase its international processing fee in a response to the federal government’s removal of the de minimis exemption, which had previously exempted imported packages under $800 from any duties.
To be specific, the company boosted its international processing fee from $1.50 to $2.50 on August 18th.
That fee hike applies to all packages shipped through International First, International Priority Express, International Priority, International Economy, International Express Freight, and International Ground services.
The global shipping giant previously laid off more than 600 employees in Memphis.
