I - Bigblue fuel surcharge

This fuel surcharge (FSC) is a charge imposed by carriers to take account of regional/seasonal variations in fuel costs.

The fuel surcharge applied by carriers from December 2021 is included in the current fulfillment rates.
We will only update this rate if there is a significant (>5%) increase in the price of fuel (see https://www.cnr.fr/).
In February 2022, the Bigblue FSC rate is equal to 0%.
To calculate the impact of the Bigblue FSC, you need to multiple the fulfillment price in the grid by one plus the FSC rate in percentage.

Example: The fulfillment price is at 7€ and the FSC rate is at 2,3%.The final fulfillment price including the Bigblue FSC will be: 7€x 1,023= 7,161€
