The calculation of the national fuel surcharge is based on the monthly average price per liter of diesel, as determined by the Oil Bulletin of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Energy and Transport, which can be viewed here. The published average value for the current month serves as the basis for the coming (not the current) month. The respective adjustments to the surcharge take effect on the first of each month and are determined approximately two days before the effective date and published here.

The fuel surcharge is added exclusively to the net amount for each individual shipment. No surcharge is imposed for extra services such as cash on delivery or confirmation of receipt.
