PART V.—CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS.

All goods carried on the railways will be charged under the class specified in this classification.

If any goods are required to be carried which are not mentioned in this classification they shall be carried as Class A until the Department shall determine in what class they shall be charged.

If any package contains any of the goods specified in this list as “dangerous,” the word “dangerous” must be marked on the package, and full particulars of the contents thereof must be specified on the consignment-note. The Railway Department is not bound to carry any such goods.

Where goods are described as “packed,” it is intended that they will only be carried if properly packed in cases, casks, bags, crates, or otherwise, in the manner in which such goods are usually packed in the trade, and that they will not be carried loose or in bulk.
