Dynamic pallet exchange fee

The determination of the current pallet float depends on the development of the timber market and is based on the market index published by the recognized industry service EUWID.

Pallet exchange fee

The standard pallet exchange fee of 3.50€ per euro flat pallet is supplemented by a surcharge of 0.25€ per euro cost increase or part thereof based on the EUWID index table above the base value for a euro flat pallet of 6.50€.

Example:
Pallet exchange fee 3.50€ + average value from EUWID index of 25.08.2022 (15.50€) = total surcharge of 5.75€.

The floater surcharge is adjusted on the basis of the index value published by EUWID.

We publish the index updated on this page. The EUWID Index is not updated by the publisher at regular intervals. We expect an update at intervals of approx. 6 to 8 weeks each.

We would also like to point out that the surcharge from the floater is necessary for the replacement of the Euro flat pallets. The mark-up is independent of the agreed depreciation rate, because euro pallets ideally have a circulation rate of 5 - 7 rounds. After that they are no longer suitable for freight forwarding and have to be replaced.
