MIXED VOLUME OR CONTAINERLOAD SHIPMENTS:                                                                                                     645

 

When a single shipment or containerload is tendered containing more than one commodity, the following will govern the application of rates for these shipments:

(B)          The applicable minimum weight for each container shall be the minimum shown for the commodity with the highest per container minimum weight.

 

(C)          When shipments do not meet the required shipment minimum weights or a lesser charge can be achieved by going to the next lower rate, the deficit weight will be charged at the lowest rated commodity in the shipment.

 

(D)          When a containerload containing a mixed shipment is tendered and the separate weights are not obtainable, the charges for that shipment will be computed at the rate applicable to the highest rated commodity in that containerload.  When separate weights are obtainable, each commodity will be reached at the applicable rate.

 

(E)           Excess weight loaded in containers that exceed the per vehicle minimum weight for that container cannot be utilized to offset deficit weight in any designated “overflow” container, as provided for in the provisions of Item 882.

EXCEPTION TO ITEM 995:

(1)           One (1) containerload of pallets shall be allowed Northbound for each ten (10) Southbound loads of seafood products received in Seattle, WA.

(7)           In the event that the requirements as listed in items (1) through (6) above are not met, charges shall apply to the Northbound movements of new or used set up pallets as shown in the specific destination tariff.
