# Maersk to Introduce Peak Season Surcharge from Far East Asia to Canada and the U.S.
Trade Update: May 20,2026
- [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share)
Maersk to Introduce Peak Season Surcharge from Far East Asia to Canada and the U.S.
2:53
*The latest surcharge may increase freight costs for importers shipping from Asia during the summer season.*
Maersk is introducing a [new Peak Season Surcharge](https://www.maersk.com/news/articles/2026/05/18/far-east-asia-us-canada-pss-june) (PSS) on ocean shipments from Far East Asia to Canada and the U.S., effective June 17, 2026, and until further notice.
The surcharge applies to cargo moving from Brunei, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Laos, Macau, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nauru, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Timor Leste, Vietnam, and Russia to Canadian and U.S. destinations.
This announcement follows a series of carrier surcharge adjustments affecting shipments to North America. In April, several [new shipping surcharges came into effect](https://blog.coleintl.com/tradenews/new-shipping-surcharges-come-into-effect-in-april-2026) across major trade lanes.
## **New peak season surcharge rates**
The new peak season surcharge ([PSS](https://blog.coleintl.com/freight-fundamentals/how-peak-season-surcharges-impact-shipping-costs)) rates are:
For non-SPOT bookings, Maersk states that the surcharge will be based on the Price Calculation Date (PCD):
- For non-FMC shipments, the PCD refers to the scheduled departure date of the first water leg at the time of booking confirmation.
- For FMC-regulated shipments, the PCD is the last container gate-in date for non-spot bookings.
The charge will be collected according to the freight paid location and may be subject to other applicable surcharges, including local and contingency charges.
## **Recent Maersk surcharge announcements**
This PSS is the latest in a series of surcharge announcements by Maersk for cargo destined for Canada and the U.S. in 2026:
- Maersk introduced a temporary **Emergency Bunker Surcharge** to address fuel availability, cost, and mix pressures. The surcharge applied globally from **March 25, 2026**, subject to regulatory approvals, and for FMC-regulated shipments from **April 9, 2026**.
- Maersk introduced a **Peak Season Surcharge** of USD 500 per container for shipments [from Northern and Central European countries](https://container-news.com/maersk-announces-peak-season-surcharges-on-multiple-routes/) to Canada and the U.S., effective **April 8, 2026**.
- Maersk introduced a USD 100 per container add-on Em**ergency Intermodal Fuel Surcharge** for applicable [import shipments moving through inland rail ramps or container yards](https://www.maersk.com/news/articles/2026/04/01/us-canada-emergency-intermodal-fuel-surcharge) in Canada and the U.S., effective **April 18, 2026**. The charge will increase to USD 200 per dry container and USD 250 per reefer unit as of **June 1, 2026**.
