Each month, the Base exchange rate will be compared with the average INR/USD exchange rate for the period from the 1st to the 21st of the current month, based on rates published by the Reserve Bank of India. The resulting percentage, as determined by the Currency Effects Index table published above, will apply from the first day of the following month.
For example, the daily average exchange rate from 1st of July to 21st of July is used to determine the applicable percentage in August.
The Currency Effects percentage will apply to the Weight Charge and the Fuel Surcharge.
DHL Express reserves the right to review and amend the methodology, index table or implementation mechanism upon providing 30 days' notice.
