GENERAL APPLICATION
1.
This rules publication applies for UPS Freight (identified herein as
Carrier). It explains Carriers extended services as well as the rules and
conditions of service that apply on shipments moving under other
publications, pricing agreements, or in customer contracts which show this
document as a governing publication. Where reference is made, in other
publications, pricing agreements or contracts to Carriers current rules or
UPGF 102 Series rules, this rules publication shall be used to determine all
rules, fuel surcharges, accessorial charges and special service fees. Where
reference is made, in other publications, pricing agreements or contracts to
OVNT 102 Series rules or MTRG 100 Series rules, this rules publication shall
be used to determine all rules, fuel surcharges, accessorial charges and
special service fees.
2.
Exceptions to any of the items in this publication will be noted in
customer specific pricing agreements, statements of agreed pricing or
contracts that apply for individual customers. Carrier, in accordance with
its obligations under the Title 49 USC, Section 13710, shall provide to the
shipper, on request of the shipper, this publication or any other written or
electronic copy of the rate, classification, rules, and practices upon which
any rate applicable to its shipment or agreed to between the shipper and
Carrier is based. In addition, this publication appears on Carriers internet
site and may be accessed at any time, by any shipper without cost.
3.
In an effort to provide its customers with quality service and
competitive rates, certain commodities are shipped at less than full value.
Carrier encourages its customers to review this publication as some items may
be subject to limitations of liability, released values or other requirements
that may relate directly to your shipment. (Therefore, all shippers are
further encouraged to evaluate their personal or corporate cargo insurance
polices so they may ship their goods at the lowest possible rate while still
being insured for full value.)
4.
Unless otherwise provided, when provisions of this tariff are in
conflict with those published in individual contracts and / or tariffs, such
contracts and / or tariffs, to the extent of their application, will apply.
5.
Where a rule published in this tariff covers the same rule published
in the National Motor Freight Classification, STB NMF 100 Series, such rule
published herein, to the extent of its application, will apply in lieu of the
rule published in STB NMF 100 Series.
6.

shipper has agreed to accept responsibility, additional charges for special
services which exceed the normal pickup, line haul, and delivery service

any billing or invoicing to the party responsible for payment.
9.
Reissued
tariffs, items or parts of items will cancel previously issued tariffs, items
or party of items, or publications referenced thereto. The term series

not so suffixed, B cancels A, C cancels B. etc.
10.

date of shipment. The term non-frozen base rates, refers to base rates
that are subject to (and change with) Carriers General Rate Increase. The

agreement.
13.

Where the term per package is used, it shall mean the smallest identifiable
unit authorized by the provisions of the individual tariffs or classification
item. In the event of partial loss, damage or destruction to a shipment, the
shipper shall be entitled to a partial recovery based on the per pound per
package liability limits of this Item. The amount of shipper's maximum
recovery shall be determined by dividing the weight of the particular package
or packages that were lost, damaged or destroyed by the weight of the entire
shipment and then multiplying that ratio by Carrier's total maximum liability
for the entire shipment. For example, assuming (1) the maximum liability for
a particular shipment is $25.00 per pound per package, (2) the entire
shipment weighed 100 pounds, (3) the packages that were lost, damaged, or
destroyed weighed a total of thirty pounds, and (4) the total invoice value
of the packages was $900.00 dollars, then shipper's total recovery would be
$750.00 dollars. If the weight of the individual package or packages that
were lost, damaged, or destroyed can not be determined, then the average
weight per package will be used to determine the shippers total recovery.
Note 5 --
Whenever the NMFC provides a released value rating for any commodity or
article included in a shipment, such value shall be stated on the Shipping
Order and Bill of Lading by the shipper or shipper's agent at time of
shipment. Should shipper or shipper's agent fail to state the released value
of such commodity or article at time of shipment or declares a value higher
than the highest released value shown, the shipment will be subject to the
lowest released value provided for such commodity or article in the NMFC.
Excess Declared Value Coverage in item 166-1 is not applicable for
commodities or articles subject to released value ratings in the STB NMF 100
Series and where the shipment moves at a release value rate.
Note 6
Whenever a customers pricing program provides rates or charges based on
exception class rating level, on a freight of all kinds exception class or on
a stated rate or charge per handling unit (whether or not the shipment is
rated as a minimum charge, and the NMFC provides released or declared value
ratings for such commodity or article, the lowest released value provided for
such commodity or article will apply, regardless of any notation, absence of
a released notation, or higher value declaration on the Bill of Lading to the
contrary.
Note 7 --
Failure of the shipper or consignor to declare a commodity or article as
other than new (including, but not limited to, failure to declare the
commodity or article to be used, reconditioned, refurbished, or
rebuilt) and/or failure to declare a commodity or article shipped as being
part of an interplant move shall not alter the application of this item.
Commodities or articles purchased through internet auctions will be deemed to
be used unless claimant can prove otherwise.
Note 8
Where a commodity or article is subject to more than one liability limit
shown herein, the lowest applicable liability limit shall apply.
Note 9
Whenever the NMFC provides an actual value rating for any commodity or
article included in a shipment, such value shall be stated on the Shipping
Order and Bill of Lading by the shipper or shipper's agent at time of
shipment. Carriers liability shall not exceed the actual value shown on the
Shipping Order and Bill of Lading, and shall be subject to the maximum
Carrier liability limits otherwise shown in this item. Excess Declared Value
Coverage in item 166-1 is not applicable for actual value commodities or
articles.
Note 10
Movement of property as part of a continuous movement that has been or will
be transported by an air carrier is subject to a maximum liability of 50
cents per pound per package.
Note 11
Carrier liability limits shown in this rule apply even when the shipment is
rated at the minimum charge. Apply the liability limit otherwise applicable
to the shipment for less-than-truckload or truckload shipments.
Note 12 For
shipments moving on shrink wrapped skids, and where the shrink wrap is
in-tact on delivery, Carrier shall not be liable for individual pieces.
Note 13 Carrier
shall not be liable for loss, damage or for any delay to a shipment caused by
an act of God, the public enemy, the authority of law, the inherent nature or
vice of the goods (including but not limited to natural shrinkage), or
resulting from an act or default of the shipper.
Note 14 Shipper,
consignee, broker or owner of the goods shall, at its cost and expense,
comply with all applicable federal, state, local and international laws,
rules and regulations pertaining to its shipments, agrees to furnish all
documents necessary to comply with such laws, and shall be responsible for
all costs (including Carrier accessorial charges), liabilities, delays, fines
and expenses caused by, resulting from or otherwise associated with any
noncompliance with any such laws, rules or regulations. Under no circumstances
shall Carrier be liable for any failure to comply with any such provisions.
Note 15
If loss or damage occurs to goods in transit during the loading, handling,
stowage or carriage on an ocean vessel, or during the discharge of such goods
from the ocean vessel, Carrier liability shall be limited to the actual
value, the liability limits shown in Sections 1-8 of this item or $500 per
package, whichever is less.

ITEM 166-1-A
EXCESS DECLARED VALUE COVERAGE
(See Notes 1-5)
The shipper may
request Excess Declared Value Coverage for shipments of commodities or
articles that exceed the maximum liability limitations provided in Item 166
or in other tariffs or contracts making specific reference to this Item
166-1. Shipments that are inadvertently accepted that exceed these
limitations, and where Excess Declared Value Coverage is not requested,
will be considered released at a value not to exceed the maximum liability
limitations.
Excess Declared Value Coverage will be deemed to be
requested when the Bill of Lading specifically contains a request for excess
coverage including the total dollar amount of excess coverage requested.
(See Examples below and note 1)
$20,000.00 excess
declared value coverage requested $20,000.00 excess
liability requested
OR
OR
Excess declared value
coverage requested: $20,000.00 Excess liability
requested: $20,000.00
The charge for the Excess Declared Value Coverage will
be 3% of the amount of excess liability requested, subject to a minimum
charge of $53.00 per shipment. This charge is in addition to any other
freight charges accruing to the shipment, and is to be paid by the party
responsible for payment of the freight charges. The fee for Excess liability
coverage is not recoverable in the event of cargo claim for loss or damages
The maximum excess declared value coverage allowed is $100,000.00
per shipment.
In no case shall Carriers total liability (including
Excess Declared Value Coverage) exceed the actual invoice value of the
goods shipped.
Note 1 Carrier Excess Declared Value Coverage is NOT
insurance. A statement on the bill of lading to insure for a specific value
or a statement of value without an express request for excess liability coverage
will not increase Carriers liability, and charges for excess liability
coverage will not be assessed.
Note 2 Excess liability coverage requested in excess
of the maximums allowed will not increase Carriers liability above the
stated maximums. In the event excess liability coverage is requested for an
amount greater than the maximums provided, the maximum allowable excess liability
coverage shall apply.
Note 3 Excess liability coverage requested on the
Canadian bill of lading will be deemed to be stated in Canadian dollars.
Note 4 Maximum excess coverage for Item 166 SECTION 3
is $2.50 per pound per package.
Note 5 Excess liability coverage is not applicable on
or available for prohibited articles (see item 780) or commodities or
articles where the NMFC provides actual or released value ratings. Any
request for excess value coverage on such articles is null and void, and
acceptance of a shipment bearing a request for excess value coverage does not
constitute a waiver of any provision of this tariff as to such shipment.

ITEM 360
APPLICATION OF
CLASSES
(Exceptions to
NMFC 100 Series items 170 and 421)
To insure the correct assessment of freight charges and to avoid
infractions of federal and state laws, shippers must use proper commodity
word descriptions on the bills of lading and shipping orders. Such
descriptions must conform to those shown in the National Motor Freight
Classification (STB NMF 100 Series). Appropriate abbreviated descriptions
are permitted provided the NMFC item and appropriate Sub number thereof are
shown. Incomplete or improper commodity descriptions accompanied by a class
rating are not acceptable forms of abbreviation and shall not determine the
proper classification rating applicable to such commodity. Packaging types
are required for classification rating and must also be shown.
If Carrier receives a bill of lading, shipping order, manifest or
receipt for goods where an incomplete or improper commodity description is
used or where the NMFC item number is not valid or has expired, Carrier will
make every effort to classify the freight according to the information
shown. In the event Carrier, in its judgement, can not determine the proper
classification rating, such commodity will be assigned a class 150 rating,
and rates will be assessed on that basis. (See Notes 1 & 3)
For commodities which are subject to different class ratings dependent
upon the actual density or density group, shippers must show on the bills of
lading and shipping orders the actual density or density group for the commodity
shipped. If the actual density or density group is not shown and the
shipment is inadvertently accepted, Carrier will assess its charges on the
highest class provided for such commodity not to exceed a class 250 rating.
(See Notes 2 & 3)
Note 1 Upon submission of satisfactory proof of the actual
commodity shipped and where a proper description of articles can be
determined, charges will be adjusted on the basis of the proper description,
NMFC item and class.
Note 2 Upon submission of satisfactory proof of actual density,
charges will be adjusted to the basis of the class applicable to such
density.
Note 3 - "Proof" is described as an invoice or packing slip
along with a pre-printed spec sheet or catalog page, which lists the
commodity description, weight and shipping dimensions. If an invoice and
packing slip are not available, then a copy of the spec sheet or catalog page
information identifying the freight must correspond to an order/product
number which can also be found on the original Bill of Lading. A new bill of
lading covering the same shipment or another copy of the original bill of
lading with typed or hand-written description, weight, density or class
changes will NOT be accepted as proof.

ITEM 361
BILL OF LADING,
LETTERS OF AUTHORITY, AND FREIGHT BILL CORRECTIONS
(See Note 1)
1.
Prior to delivery of a shipment, a request to change the payment terms
(prepaid or collect) or to add or change a third party payor on a freight
bill will be permitted upon receipt of a corrected bill of lading or letter
of authority with written instructions from the shipper. After a shipment
has been delivered, a change in payment terms or payor will not be permitted
unless written authorization is provided to Carrier by the party (shipper,
consignee or third party) assuming responsibility for payment. Carrier
reserves the right to disallow a requested change after shipment delivery if
the new payor has not been extended credit.
2.
After payment has been received based on the original terms of the
bill of lading, requests to change the party responsible for payment of the
freight charges may not be allowed (discretion of Carrier). If a refund is
permitted, no refund shall be made until payment has been received from the
new debtor.
3.
Corrected Bills of Lading and letters of authority will not be
accepted:
a) To change the released, declared or actual value of the commodity on the
freight bill.
b) To change the weight, commodity, cubic feet or density
after freight has delivered, unless proof of weight, commodity or density can
be established and accepted by Carrier as satisfactory proof. Proof is
described as an invoice or packing slip along with a pre-printed spec sheet
or catalog page, which lists the commodity description, weight and shipping
dimensions. If an invoice and packing slip are not available, then a copy of
the spec sheet or catalog page information identifying the freight must
correspond to an order/product number which can also be found on the original
Bill of Lading. A new bill of lading covering the same shipment or another
copy of the original bill of lading with typed or hand-written description,
weight, density or class changes will NOT be accepted as proof.
c) To change a shipper name/address or a consignee name/address after freight
has delivered.
4.
Anytime Carrier must issue a freight bill correction (due to no fault
of Carrier) to correct any invoice, freight bill or delivery receipt which
was billed by Carrier in accordance with the original bill of lading, the
correction fee shown below will apply. Requests for changes to commodity
descriptions or shipment weights will be accepted only when satisfactory
proof of actual shipment commodity or weight is provided to Carrier.
Note 1 A corrected bill of lading (or COBL) is a bill of lading
with changes that replaces the original. A letter of authority (or LOA) is
a letter or written instructions requesting changes on company letterhead and
will complement a BOL or CBOL.
Correction Fees :
$21.00 - Charge for changing the freight payment terms
or payer as described in paragraph 1 PRIOR to Delivery of a shipment or to
otherwise issue a freight bill correction as described in paragraph 4. This
charge applies for each freight bill corrected.
$30.00 - Charge for changing the freight payment terms
or payer only, as described in paragraph 1 AFTER Delivery of a shipment. This
charge applies for each freight bill corrected.
The correction fee will be assessed against the shipper unless the
payer authorizes the change and agrees to pay or guarantees the payment of
the fee.

|
ITEM 362
WEIGHING AND INSPECTION OF PROPERTY
If the description or other
information contained on the bill of lading is incomplete or believed to be
incorrect, Carrier or Carriers agent will take the action necessary to
determine the correct information. Actions to determine actual freight
characteristics include: inspection of packages; verification of gross
shipment weights, verification of actual or declared density, or collection
of other sufficient evidence necessary to verify whether or not the shipment
is described correctly. When found incorrectly described, the bill of lading
and the Carrier freight bill will be corrected and freight charges assessed
according to the proper descriptions and weights..
