## Fee library
### Delivery Area Surcharge (DAS)
A Delivery Area Surcharge is a flat per-package fee for delivering to a ZIP code that appears on the carrier’s delivery-area list. The destination ZIP decides it, not the zone or the distance. Each carrier keeps its own list with a standard and an extended tier, priced separately for commercial and residential addresses.
UPS: Delivery Area Surcharge, in Commercial, Commercial Extended, Residential and Residential Extended versions; one schedule covers Ground and Air. FedEx: Delivery Area Surcharge, in Commercial, Extended Commercial, Residential and Extended Residential versions, with Remote, Alaska and Hawaii tiers in the same family.
Stacking: Adds to residential, Additional Handling, Large Package / Oversize and demand charges. Only one area tier (standard, extended or remote) applies to one package.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/delivery-area-surcharge

### Additional Handling
Additional Handling applies when a package is over 50 lb, has a longest side over 48 in or a second-longest side over 30 in, measures over 105 in in length plus girth, exceeds 10,368 cubic inches, or is not fully packed in corrugated cardboard. Only the highest qualifying Additional Handling charge applies, and none applies when the package qualifies for UPS Large Package or FedEx Oversize.
UPS: Additional Handling, billed as Weight, Dimensions (length, width, length + girth, cube) or Packaging. FedEx: Additional Handling Surcharge, billed as Weight, Dimension or Packaging.
Stacking: Adds to residential, DAS and demand charges. It is replaced, not added to, when Large Package (UPS) or Oversize (FedEx) applies.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/additional-handling

### Large Package / Oversize
UPS’s Large Package Surcharge and FedEx’s Oversize Charge apply to packages longer than 96 in, over 130 in in length plus girth, over 17,280 cubic inches, or over 110 lb. Both bill at least 90 lb and replace Additional Handling. UPS prices commercial and residential deliveries separately; FedEx lists one amount for Package Services and another column for Home Delivery.
UPS: Large Package Surcharge, Commercial and Residential. FedEx: Oversize Charge, for U.S. Package Services and FedEx Home Delivery.
Stacking: Replaces Additional Handling. Adds to residential, DAS and demand charges. At UPS it is also billed alongside Over Maximum Limits (Tariff §40.8).
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/large-package

### Over Maximum / Unauthorized
Packages over 150 lb, longer than 108 in, or over 165 in in length plus girth exceed the small-package limits. UPS bills Over Maximum Limits on top of other applicable charges, including the Large Package Surcharge. FedEx Ground bills the Unauthorized Package Charge, which as the highest non-standard charge replaces Oversize and Additional Handling.
UPS: Over Maximum Limits. FedEx: Ground Unauthorized Package Charge (Ground and Home Delivery).
Stacking: UPS: added on top of other charges, including Large Package. FedEx: replaces Oversize and Additional Handling as the single highest non-standard charge.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/over-maximum

### Residential surcharge
The residential surcharge is a flat per-package fee for delivering to a home, including a business run from a home. The carrier decides whether an address is residential. Ground and air services have separate amounts, and peak demand surcharges are added during the published periods.
UPS: Residential Surcharge, Ground and Air. FedEx: Residential Delivery Charge (FedEx Ground and Home Delivery, and U.S. Express package services).
Stacking: Adds to DAS, size and demand charges.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/residential

### Remote, Alaska & Hawaii
Remote-area charges are flat per-package fees for ZIP codes on a carrier’s remote list in the contiguous U.S., Alaska or Hawaii. UPS publishes them as a separate Remote Area Surcharge. FedEx publishes them as tiers of its Delivery Area Surcharge. They are compared side by side here but are not the same charge.
UPS: Remote Area Surcharge: US 48, Alaska, Hawaii. FedEx: Delivery Area Surcharge tiers: Remote, Alaska, Hawaii.
Stacking: One area tier per package; adds to residential, size and demand charges.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/remote-area

### Address correction & intercepts
An address correction charge applies when the carrier fixes a wrong or incomplete address. It is billed per correction. UPS also publishes a per-shipment maximum, and charges Delivery Intercept fees when a shipper redirects, holds or returns a package in transit.
UPS: Address Correction (Ground and Air), Delivery Intercept (web and phone requests). FedEx: Address Correction.
Stacking: Independent of size and area charges.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/address-correction

### Signature options
Signature options are shipper-selected per-package fees. Both carriers offer a signature-required and an adult-signature option. FedEx also offers an indirect signature option with no direct UPS equivalent in the documents reviewed.
UPS: Delivery Confirmation — Signature Required; Adult Signature Required. FedEx: Direct Signature Required; Indirect Signature Required; Adult Signature Required.
Stacking: Independent of other charges.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/signature

### Declared value
Declared value is an optional charge for raising the carrier’s liability above its standard limit. UPS charges per $100 of declared value with a per-package minimum. FedEx charges a flat amount for the first band and then per $100 above it, so a per-$100 comparison is only approximate.
UPS: Declared Value for Carriage. FedEx: Declared Value.
Stacking: Independent of other charges.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/declared-value

### Demand surcharges
Demand surcharges are temporary per-package charges during the carriers’ high-volume periods. Some apply to package types (Additional Handling, Large Package / Oversize, over-limit packages); others apply to services such as residential ground and air. They are added on top of the regular charges and are fuel-assessable at both carriers.
UPS: Demand Surcharge (by package type and by service), plus Higher Volume Shipper tables. FedEx: Demand surcharges (Demand — Additional Handling, Demand — Oversize, Demand — Unauthorized, Demand — Residential Delivery Charge and service demand charges).
Stacking: Added on top of all other charges.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/demand-surcharges

### Fuel surcharge
The fuel surcharge is a weekly percentage applied to the transportation charge and to the accessorials on the carrier’s fuel list. It is set from a published table keyed to a fuel price index (diesel for ground, jet fuel for air). The posted surcharge percentage is not the diesel price, and carriers change the tables themselves several times a year.
UPS: Fuel Surcharge (Ground, Ground Saver, Domestic Air, international). FedEx: Fuel Surcharge (Ground and Home Delivery, Express, international).
Stacking: Grows with every fuel-assessable accessorial on the package.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/accessorials/fuel

## Guides
### How to Read the Accessorial Lines on a UPS or FedEx Invoice
Every accessorial line on a parcel invoice answers three questions: what triggered it (the package, the address or a service you chose), whether fuel was applied to it, and whether it replaced or added to another charge. Group lines by those three questions before you look at amounts.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/guides/how-to-read-ups-fedex-invoice-accessorials

### Dimensional Weight in 2026: Divisors, Rounding and Minimums
Dimensional weight is length × width × height divided by a divisor, rounded up to the next pound, after each side is rounded up to the next inch. At published daily rates both UPS and FedEx use 139; the billable weight is the greater of actual and dimensional weight, unless a surcharge minimum (40 lb, 50 lb at UPS from Dec. 21, 2026, or 90 lb) is higher.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/guides/dimensional-weight-2026-divisors-rounding

### Fuel Surcharge vs. Diesel Price: Why the Percentage Moves
The diesel price is an input; the fuel surcharge is the carrier’s output from its own table. When a carrier changes the table, as UPS did on Nov. 2, 2026 and FedEx on Nov. 9, 2026, the surcharge can rise with no change in diesel. Always compare surcharges in percentage points, and keep the index and the surcharge in separate columns.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/guides/fuel-surcharge-vs-diesel-price

### Audit Your DAS Exposure Before the 2027 ZIP List Changes
Export a year of destination ZIPs with package counts and address types, run them through both carriers’ current and new lists, and price the difference at each date’s published DAS amounts. The list change can matter as much as the rate increase.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/guides/das-zip-list-audit-2027

### Additional Handling Decision Tree: Check Any Carton in Six Questions
Measure, round every side up, then ask in order: Is it over the network limits? Over the Large Package / Oversize thresholds? Over 50 lb? Over 48 in long or 30 in on the second side? Over 105 in length plus girth or 10,368 in³? Not in a corrugated box? The first “yes” in the size questions decides which family applies; only one Additional Handling charge applies.
https://parcelaccessorials.com/guides/additional-handling-decision-tree

### Accessorial Contract Checklist: 14 Questions for a Parcel Agreement
Read accessorial terms for coverage (which tiers, zones and services a discount covers), structure (percent or fixed dollar), exclusions (demand, minimums) and timing (what happens when the carrier changes the list or the amount). This checklist is general information, not legal advice or a benchmark.
