1. Single shipments which consist of articles subject to
only one class or commodity rate will be charged at the
actual or authorized estimated weight and at the class
or commodity rate applicable, subject to the minimum
charge in the appropriate minimum charge item in tariffs
making reference hereto.
2. Single shipments which consist of articles subject to
two or more different commodity rates, when articles
subject to such different rates are separately
packaged, will be charged at the actual or authorized
estimated weight, and at the class or commodity rate
applicable to each, subject to the minimum charge in
the appropriate minimum charge item in tariffs making
reference hereto.
3. Where different scales of rates are provided for
shipments of different weights, apply on each article
the rate which would apply on that article if such
article were tendered as a straight shipment weighing
the same as the aggregate weight of the mixed shipment.
Any deficit between the actual weight of the shipment,
and the weight provided for the next lower scale of
rates, will be charged for at the lowest rate applicable
to any article in the shipment.
4. When two or more commodities for which different ratings
are provided, are shipped as a mixed shipment without
actual weights being obtainable for the portions shipped
under the separate ratings, charges for the entire
shipment will be computed at the class or commodity rate
applicable to the highest classed or rated commodity
contained in such mixed shipment. The minimum weight
shall be the highest provided in any of the rates used
in computing the charges. In the event a lower charge
results by considering such commodities as if they were
divided into two or more separate shiments, such lower
charge shall apply.
