The U.S. Postal Service has proposed an unprecedented 8% fuel surcharge on all package deliveries, citing the sharp rise in oil prices triggered by the U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. If approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission, the surcharge would take effect April 26 and remain until January 2027—but critics say the agency's structural financial crisis, not fuel prices alone, is driving the move.
