LSS
Category: Logistics
Also searched as: Low Sulphur Surcharge
Definition (plain English)
Low sulfur surcharge is a carrier charge linked to cleaner fuel requirements and emissions regulations.
Why it matters commercially
LSS adds to freight cost and can vary by lane, carrier, fuel rule, and quote validity.
Example
A forwarder quote separated base freight, BAF, and LSS so finance could compare quotes on the same basis.
Common mistake
Assuming base ocean freight includes every fuel and environmental surcharge.
