This development has a heavy impact on our activity: in fact, our pre and post deliveries, both air and sea, are carried out mainly by road and it is this part (the costs of collection and delivery of the goods) that is heavily impacted. by the surge in road diesel. In order to contain the direct effect of these increases, we “absorbed” as much as possible this increase in the price of road fuel and undertook to “rationalize” our pre and post delivery plan to make it as economical as possible. However, the outbreak that we have been facing since January 2008, today forces us to generalize the application of a diesel surcharge for all air and sea pre- and post-routings. For the month of February 2017, the applicable rate is 6.00% This surcharge is progressive and the rate will be revised monthly (upwards or downwards) according to the evolution of the diesel price index. For the sake of transparency, this surcharge will appear separately on your invoice so that you can clearly identify these costs and track them.

The benchmark for calculating the surcharge in a given month (eg August) will be based on the average price of the last week of month m-2 (ie June).
