Note A - Subject to a minimum fuel adjustment charge of $2.00 per shipment when the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index is at least 115 cents per gallon.

Note B - The term line haul charges referred to herein applies to all charges other than accessorial charges.

Note C - For the purposes of the truckload fuel surcharge application, volume or truckload shipments are defined as:

2. Shipments which weigh or are rated at weights of 20,000 lbs. or more;
3. Shipments considered a capacity load or moving under exclusive use rates.

Note D - All shipments will be subject to a fuel adjustment (surcharge) based on a weekly fuel price index. The index shall be the Department of Energy 's National Average Diesel Fuel Price Index, after 4:00 PM on Monday of each week. Said Index may be ascertained direct from the DOE by calling (202) 586-6966 each Monday afternoon. If Monday falls on a holiday, the index for the next business day that is not a holiday will be used to determine the applicable fuel surcharges. The surcharge for each (Monday through Sunday) will be based on Mondays DOE index of the previous week.

Note E - For each one cent ($ .01) increase over 300 cents in the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index, the fuel surcharge will increase by an additional .1% on LTL shipments and an additional .2% on Volume or Truckload shipments. For each one cent ($ .01) decrease below 200 cents in the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index, the fuel surcharge will decrease by .1% on LTL shipments and .2% on Volume or Truckload shipments. When the DOE Diesel Fuel Price Index falls below 115 cents, the fuel surcharge will not apply.


Note F - Urgent shipments (as defined in Item 822) moving “out-of-network” shall be subject to fuel surcharge in accordance with the amounts charged to Carrier by its agent, partner carrier, other mode of transportation, or sub-contractor, unless the fuel surcharge has been previously negotiated on Urgent “out-of-network” shipments between the parties in tariffs, contracts, or other agreed upon pricing provisions

 

 


 


ITEM 100

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.        Except as otherwise provided, or otherwise stated on the bill of lading, and unless the shipper has agreed to accept responsibility, additional charges for special services which exceed the normal pickup, line haul, and delivery service defined by item 750, shall be collected from the party requesting or requiring the service irrespective of whether the line haul charges are prepaid or collect. In the event the party requesting or requiring the service does not pay or is unwilling to pay, Carrier reserves the right to assess the charges against the payor of the freight charges.

7.        A Shipment is a lot of freight received from one shipper at one place at one time for one consignee at one destination and covered by one bill of lading, whose weight includes all packaging, wrapping and pallets used in the shipment.

8.        Carrier will maintain records to verify the application of charges and will so document on 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 implies the most current tariff in effect at time of shipment. Where an item is suffixed with an alphabet letter, the letter A, cancels the original item not so suffixed, B cancels A, C cancels B. etc.

10.     The term current base rates, refers to the Carriers base rates in effect on the 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 term frozen base rates, refers to base rates that are not subject to (and do not change with) Carriers General Rate Increase.

11.     In the event Carrier receives no shipments rated under the provisions of any Individual Tariff Item or Statement of Agreed Pricing, for a period of 120 days, the Item or Statement of Agreed Pricing will be deemed obsolete and subject to cancellation.

12.     All pricing agreements established by Carrier for its customers are subject to annual general rate increases, unless specifically stated otherwise in the pricing agreement.

13.     Section 1 provides general application. Section 2 applies only on International commerce from or to points in Mexico. Rules, rates and charges shown in Section 2 take precedence over the same rules, rates and charges shown in Section 1 to the extent of the application.

14.     Accessorial rates and charges shown in this tariff are not subject to discounts or reductions.

 

ITEM 101

APPLICATION OF DIRECT PRICING

 

Direct pricing applications established by UPS Freight in any Individual Tariff Item, Contract or Statement of Agreed Pricing will apply between ALL points in the contiguous United States, and between ALL points in the contiguous United States on the one hand and ALL points in Canada on the other, when moving on Carriers current base rates in effect on the date of shipment, subject to the following conditions: (See Note 1)

 

1)       Base rates applicable to such pricing must be the current UPGF 500, 505, 525 or 560 series; and,

2)       Shipment must be picked up by UPS Freight on a freight prepaid basis where the UPS Freight customer is the Shipper payor or Third Party payor, or,

3)       Shipment must be delivered by UPS Freight on a freight collect basis where the UPS Freight customer is the Consignee payor or Third Party payor.

 

Note 1 Indirect, joint-line, partner and interline pricing shown in the Individual Tariff, Contract or Statement of Agreed Pricing shall have no application to the extent shown above. All other conditions governing the pricing application shall continue to apply.

 

ITEM 102

APPLICATION OF INDIRECT, JOINT-LINE, PARTNER OR INTERLINE PRICING

 

Unless specifically provided in the pricing, where reference is made to indirect, joint-line, partner or interline pricing in any Individual Tariff Item, Contract or Statement of Agreed Pricing, the pricing applies only on shipments originated by UPS Freight and will not apply on advance interline shipments.

 

ITEM 105

ITEM 166 - A (continued)

 

NOTES

 

Note 1 Additional liability coverage above the maximum Carrier liability limits shown herein is available in accordance with Item 166-1 (not applicable with Section 8).

 

Note 2 In no case shall Carriers liability exceed $100,000.00 per shipment unless Excess Declared Value Coverage is requested and the additional charges are paid.

 

Note 3 Shipments of commodities or articles that have an invoice value exceeding the maximum liability limits outlined above will be considered shipments of extraordinary value, and will not be accepted except under the conditions and charges as provided in Item 166-1 Excess Declared Value Coverage. And, if inadvertently accepted, such shipments will be considered released at a value not to exceed the maximum liability limitations provided herein.

 

Note 4 -- 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 170

MINIMUM PAYMENT AMOUNT FOR ALLOWANCE, DISCOUNT AND INCENTIVE CHECKS

Should a participant in an allowance, discount or incentive program fail to tender or receive a sufficient volume of business to earn a payment from Carrier of $50.00 or more in a period (month, quarter or year as defined in the program), no payment will be made.

Each period will stand on its own for payment computation purposes. Revenues or payments will not be accrued from one period to the next in order to meet the minimum payment requirement.

Should a participant fail to meet the $50.00 minimum payment requirement for three consecutive periods the allowance, discount or incentive program will be rendered inapplicable and will be canceled.

 

ITEM 171

BUMPING CLAUSE - NON - APPLICATION

Bumping is the declaration on the original bill of lading of an artificially higher weight for the purpose of causing a higher density that allows the article or piece being Bumped to qualify for a lower classification rating.

Bumping may be performed under the provisions of Item 171, NMF 100 Series (NMFC) subject to the following :

1.        Bumping provisions may only be used for commodity items in the NMFC that assign classes based upon density and then only for those that make specific reference to Item 171 in the NMFC.

2.        Shipper may only Bump to the next lower (NMFC) class or rating. Bumping to an EXCEPTION or FREIGHT ALL KINDS (FAK) class or rating is not permitted.

3.        When the provisions of this rule are utilized, shipper must declare intent to Bump at time of shipment and include all the following items on the original bill of lading :

Actual cube Actual weight Density group (sub) embracing the actual density

Declared density Declared weight for billing

 

ITEM 300

ADVANCING OR PAYING CHARGES

(See Notes 1 & 2)

 

1.        Unless otherwise instructed by the shipper or consignee, Carrier may advance or pay charges for truck entry fees, pier handling fees or for accrued lawful charges of air or water carriers.

ITEM 345

ARRIVAL NOTICE AND UNDELIVERED FREIGHT ARRIVAL NOTICE:

 

1.        Actual tender of delivery constitutes notice of the arrival of a shipment.

2.        If the shipment is not actually tendered for delivery, notice of arrival will be given to the consignee not later than the next business day following the arrival of the shipment:

(a)     The notice will be given by telephone or mail.

(b)     If the consignee's address is unknown to Carrier, the notice will be mailed to the consignee at the post office serving the point of destination shown on the Bill of Lading.

(c)     In the case of notification by mail, the notice will be considered received by the addressee at 8:00 A.M. on the first business day after it was mailed.

UNDELIVERED FREIGHT:

 

1.        If freight cannot be delivered because of the consignee's refusal or inability to accept it, or because Carrier cannot locate the consignee, or if freight cannot be transported because of an error or omission on the part of the shipper, Carrier will make a diligent effort to notify the shipper promptly that the freight is in storage and the reason therefor.

2.        Undelivered shipments will be subject to applicable storage or detention charges.

3.        On undelivered shipments, disposition instructions printed on the Bill of Lading, shipping order, shipping label, or container or disposition instructions issued prior to tender of delivery, will not be accepted as an authority to reship, return, or reconsign a shipment, or to limit storage liability.

4.        Carrier will follow the Uniform Bill of Lading terms and conditions for disposition of undelivered freight.

 

 


 

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.
