UPS Disbursement Fee Update

This is a minimum-fee increase, not a rate change. The 2% calculation remains identical, so any shipment where 2% of Duty/Taxes already exceeds $17.00 will see no cost change whatsoever. The increase targets the low end of the duty spectrum: shipments where 2% of Duty/Taxes falls between $14.00 and $17.00 will now be billed $17.00 instead of the calculated amount, and shipments where 2% of Duty/Taxes falls below $14.00—previously billed at the $14.00 floor—will now be billed at the $17.00 floor instead. The breakeven point shifts from $700 in Duty/Taxes (where 2% = $14.00) to $850 (where 2% = $17.00), meaning any shipment with less than $850 in Duty/Taxes paid will be affected.

💡 The Disbursement Fee rate stays at 2%—only the minimum increases, from $14.00 to $17.00.
💡 Shipments with Duty/Taxes under $850 will pay the new $17.00 minimum instead of the calculated 2%.
💡 Shipments with Duty/Taxes at or above $850 are unaffected since 2% already exceeds $17.00.
💡 The $3.00 per-shipment increase is most material for high-volume importers with many low-duty entries.
💡 No changes were made to any other UPS Customs Brokerage fees in this update.
