The U.S. Postal Service will make its postage fuel surcharge permanent beginning in 2027, citing rising diesel prices, according to CBS. The surcharge, previously treated as a temporary adjustment tied to fuel costs, will become a standing component of postal pricing. The change matters because it locks in a structural cost increase for mailers and shippers who rely on USPS, with diesel prices serving as the trigger. What to watch next is the specific surcharge rate and its interaction with other postal rate changes as the 2027 effective date approaches.
