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.

Except in the case of goods carried by measurement, the words “rate and a quarter,” “rate and a half,” or “double rate,” means that the classified or local rate for the conveyance of any article in the following classification to which any such words apply shall be increased by “one-fourth,” or by “one-half,” or “doubled,” as the case may be. When any such goods (except dangerous goods) are carried by measurement, such increase of the classified or local rate shall not apply. The increased rate shall apply to dangerous goods in all cases. The words “half rate,” means that only half the classified or local rate is to be charged whether the goods are carried by weight or measurement.
