# Shipping Costs - Shipping Surcharges

> Create shipping surcharge groups and define a surcharge per shipping zone

With shipping surcharges, you define a surcharge per shipping zone. The surcharges are organized in **shipping surcharge groups**: A group bundles multiple surcharge lines, and each line links a [shipping zone](/docs/en/bc-shipping-costs/user-guide/versandzonen) with a price.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Navigate to the shipping surcharge groups">
    Open the **Shipping Surcharges Groups** list via **Search**. It displays all groups with **Code** and **Description**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a surcharge group">
    Select **New** in the menu bar and maintain the **Code** and **Description** of the group.

    <Check>
      As soon as you press Enter or leave the line, the group is saved.
    </Check>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Maintain surcharges per zone">
    Select the group and choose **Shipping Surcharges** in the menu bar. The list of surcharge lines for this group opens.

    Maintain the following per line:

    * **Shipping Surcharge Group Code:** The group to which the line belongs.
    * **Shipping Zone Code:** The [shipping zone](/docs/en/bc-shipping-costs/user-guide/versandzonen) for which the surcharge applies.
    * **Price:** The surcharge for this zone.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  You can also reach the same surcharge list via the menu bar of the [shipping zones](/docs/en/bc-shipping-costs/user-guide/versandzonen).
</Info>

<Note>
  Where a shipping surcharge group is assigned to the application is not yet documented in this documentation and will be added once it has been finally clarified.
