What is an Ancillary Charge? Why does it have to be paid sometimes and not other times?
FedEx offers a door-to-door (customs cleared) service for standard home use or consumption imports. The FedEx Service Guide states that the temporary importation of goods is prohibited on our IP Service. Therefore, to clear these shipments an ancillary, an additional charge of 30.00 Pounds Sterling is applicable. The ability for FedEx to clear temporary imports does not exist in all countries. The United Kingdom is one of the few exceptions.
