Apparently there is an issue with international airlines fixing prices on
cargo shipped to and from the U.S. It looks like a number of airlines are
being investigated for agreeing to raise surcharges for security and fuel on
cargo. If you go to
http://www.lawyersandsettlements.com/case/cargo_antitrust_classaction there
is more information on this as well as what can be done about it. There is a
free case evaluation provided for those who might have been subject to these
charges. I found this of interest and hope that this may be of some help.
