https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/ups-international-processing-fee-worldwide-2025/758526/UPS will levy a $2.50 international processing fee for U.S.-bound packages across three services starting Sept. 8, according to the logistics giant’s website. The per-shipment charge will apply to U.S. imports through the following UPS Worldwide services: Express, Express Plus and Express NA1. The carrier also announced it will apply an entry preparation charge for low-cost Canada-to-U.S. shipments under its UPS Standard service starting Aug. 29. The fee will be $10 for shipments with a duty value of up to $200, and it will increase to $20 for shipments with a duty value between $200.01 and $800.
It would appear that this is UPS in their latest price changes to match Fedex's increase which was last week. All politics aside, it's now more expensive to ship internationally.
