FXF 100 Rules Tariff

Application of Classes - Construction of class for density rated shipments

1. On shipments where the commodities are classed by actual density or density group within a specific item in the NMFC and where the NMFC makes no reference to item 170 nor provides any direction as to how the Carrier is to class a shipment when the actual density or density group is not on the bill of lading, the charges will initially be assessed on the basis of the class applicable to the lowest density provided in the specific NMFC item. Upon submission of satisfactory proof of a higher actual density, the freight charges will be adjusted to the basis of the class applicable to such density.
