The U.S. Postal Service will impose its first-ever surcharge on packages to cover the rising cost of fuel, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The 8% surcharge will begin in April, and the current plan is to phase it out in January 2027, the people said. It will apply to packages but not letter mail.
