It is a hazmat fee, not a tax and is imposed by the shippers.
This is true. In the case of retailers, the fee is imposed by distributors. Some charge ludicrous HAZMAT fees, while a couple don't charge it at all if you buy over certain minimums.

I have heard nothing about government-mandated increases.
