Classes A, B, C, and D.

(b.) Any number of consignments of different classes from one consignor to one consignee will be charged separately or as one consignment of the highest class to which either of them belongs.

(c.) But when a consignment which would be charged at classified rates, and not at the scale for small lots, is sent with small lots, such consignment may be charged separately, and the small lots may be treated independently under regulation (b).
