Minimum Quantity Rates
When two or more Tariff Items are named for the
same commodity over the same scope and under similar conditions, and the
application is dependent upon quantity of the commodity shipped, the total
freight charges assessed against the shipment may not exceed the total charges
computed for a larger quantity, if the Tariff Item specifying a required
minimum quantity (either weight or measurement per container or in containers),
will be applicable to the contents of the container(s), and if the minimum set
forth is met or exceeded. At the shippers option, a quantity less than the
minimum level may be freighted at the lower Tariff Item if the weight or
measurement declared for rating purposes is increased to the minimum level.
