TFL Introduces Temporary Surcharges as Gulf Region Conflict Disrupts Supply Chains

TFL Introduces Temporary Surcharges as Gulf Region Conflict Disrupts Supply Chains

TFL has introduced temporary surcharges on freight and product costs across its operations due to the ongoing conflict in the Gulf region. The move aims to manage rising logistics and raw material costs and ensure stable supply.

TFL, a key player in the specialty chemicals industry, said the decision comes as global supply chains face continued disruption. Shipping routes, raw material sourcing and overall logistics costs have all become more expensive due to the conflict.

The company confirmed that surcharge levels will vary depending on the product group, manufacturing location and shipping route. This means customers may see different price adjustments based on where and how products are supplied.

TFL also stated that these charges are temporary and will remain in place only until market conditions improve. The company plans to review the surcharges regularly based on how the situation evolves.

At the same time, TFL is working closely with its partners to maintain supply reliability and reduce the impact on customers as much as possible.
