Please note, however, that from March 1, 2026, a temporary Emergency Situational Surcharge (TESS) will be applied to all international express shipments to the GCC.

This adjustment helps us maintain the level of service you rely on during a period of significantly increased operational pressure as a result of the ongoing geo‑political situation in the Middle East. 

This surcharge is temporary and allows us to protect the reliability and safety of your deliveries throughout this challenging period. Shipments intended to the mentioned countries above will face a 2-3 day transit time delay, kindly inform your customers.

We’ll continue to monitor developments and share updates as needed.
