华盛顿，3月25日（路透社） – 美国邮政署（USPS）周三表示，计划申请对优先邮件和包裹递送服务实施临时8%的涨价，自4月26日起生效，以应对不断上涨的交通燃油成本。
美国邮政署需要获得美国邮政管理委员会对此次临时涨价的批准。该机构表示，此次附加费将“为建立反映市场状况的永久定价机制搭建桥梁”，而美国邮政署此前曾警告称，资金可能最早在10月耗尽。

此次涨价不会影响一等邮资邮票的价格。
美国邮政署表示，由于油价飙升，包括喷气燃料和柴油价格大幅上涨，联邦快递（FDX.N，打开新标签页）和联合包裹服务公司（UPS.N，打开新标签页）自伊朗战争开始以来已对地面和航空递送服务征收了25%至28%的燃油附加费。
“运输成本一直在增加，我们的竞争对手已采取多项附加费措施，”美国邮政署称，“我们一直坚决避免征收附加费，而此次附加费仅为竞争对手燃油附加费的三分之一以下。”
美国邮政署计划此次附加费有效期至明年1月17日，届时该机构将决定是否需要采取不同的长期措施。

美国邮政署署长大卫·斯坦纳本月早些时候告诉国会，如果将一等邮件邮票价格从目前的78美分提高到95美分或1美元以上，将增加收入并帮助削减亏损。
自2019年初（当时价格为50美分）以来，邮票价格已上涨46%，但斯坦纳表示，这仍然远低于其他国家的价格。美国邮政署自2007年以来已报告净亏损1180亿美元，而其最盈利的产品——一等邮件的业务量已降至20世纪60年代末以来的最低水平。

WASHINGTON, March 25 (Reuters) – The U.S. Postal Service said on Wednesday it is seeking approval for a temporary 8% price hike for priority mail and package deliveries, effective April 26, to deal with rising transportation fuel costs.
The USPS, which needs approval from the Postal Regulatory Commission for the temporary price increase, said the surcharge will provide a “bridge to a permanent mechanism to reflect market conditions in prices for competitive products” and comes as USPS has warned it could run out of money as soon as October.

The hike will not affect the price of first-class stamps.
USPS said FedEx (FDX.N), opens new tab and UPS (UPS.N), opens new tab have imposed fuel surcharges of 25% to 28% for ground and air deliveries since the start of the Iran war as a result of the jump in oil prices, including sharp rises in jet fuel and diesel.
“Transportation costs have been increasing, and our competitors have reacted with a number of surcharges,” USPS said. “We have steadfastly avoided surcharges and this charge is less than one-third of what our competitors charge for fuel alone.”
USPS plans for the surcharge to be in effect through January 17 of next year, by which time the agency will determine whether a different long-term approach is needed.

U.S. Postmaster General David Steiner told Congress earlier this month that hiking first-class mail stamp prices to 95 cents or $1 or more, up from the current 78 cents, would provide added revenue and help it cut losses.
Stamp prices are up 46% since early 2019, when they were 50 cents, but Steiner said they are still far lower than in other countries. USPS has reported net losses of $118 billion since 2007 as first-class mail, its most profitable product, has fallen to its lowest volume since the late 1960s.
