WEIGHTS AND MEASUREMENTS
Shipping weights and measurements shown on shipping documents are subject to checking by the Company and the actual scale weight or measurement of the shipment as determined by the Company will govern rating and billing.
Except as otherwise provided, rates named on a weight basis are to be applied to actual gross weight of the freight, and rates named on a measurement basis to the gross cubic measurement of the freight, but in no case shall the amount be less than the minimum to which the rates are subject.
Charges for all cargoes N.O.S. are calculated on the weight or measurement of the goods, whichever yields the greater amount. If charges calculated on the basis of measurement exceed by a multiple of four times the amount that the charge would be if calculated on the basis of weight, the amount due will be the amount equivalent to four times the weight charge.
Tonne W/M is the number of tonnes calculated by weight or measurement as follows:
a)W used to indicate weight, e.g. one thousand kilograms (1000 kg)
b)M used to indicate measurement, e.g. one cubic metre (1 m)
