GOODS

  1. COMPUTATION OF CHARGES

  2. In computing the charges on goods, the following provisions will apply:—
    (a) Except as otherwise provided, goods from different consignors to one consignee, or from one
    consignor to different consignees, will be charged separately.
    (b) A package containing different rated commodities will be charged the rate applicable to the
    highest rated commodity.
    (c) Except as otherwise provided, any consignment consisting of two or more commodities charge-
    able at different rates and forwarded from one consignor to one consignee will be charged separately.
    (d) Goods chargeable at Classes C, D, E, and G, or at such rates subject to a percentage increase
    or decrease, will be subject to a minimum charge as per Regulation 71, or parcels rates, whichever is
    cheaper.
    (e) Timber and/or all goods chargeable on weight consigned from one consignor to one consignee
    loaded in the same wagon, may be grouped for the purpose of the minimum load per wagon, and the
    charges at the appropriate local or classified rate may be based on the actual weight of each commodity
    (minimum charge as per Regulation 71) under the following conditions:—
    (i) The total weight charged for will not be less than the highest minimum weight specified for
    any commodity included in the consignment.
    (ii) When the actual aggregate weight of all the commodities in the consignment is less than the
    highest minimum weight the weight required to make up the minimum will be charged
    at the rate applicable to the lowest rated commodity in the consignment.
    (iii) For the purpose of this subparagraph timber will be calculated as 450 superficial feet to
    the ton.
    (f) Where local rates are in operation, and the sum of the charges computed separately at local
    rates or at local rates and classified rates (as the case may be) is lower than the amount of charges com-
    puted at the through classified rate, the lower charges as so computed shall apply.
    The following examples are given by way of illustration but are not exhaustive:—
    Let A, B, C, and D be stations in that order on a continuous line of railway with local rates in
    operation between A and B and between B and C respectively.
    Case 1. Consignment from A to B or from B to C: Local rate supersedes classified
    rate in each case.
    Case 2. Consignment from A to C would be charged at the cheapest of the following
    computations:—
    (i) Both local rates.
    (ii) Either local rate and the classified rate for the balance of the journey.
    (iii) The through classified rate.
    Case 3. Consignment from A to D would be charged at the cheapest of the following
    computations:—
    (i) Local rate A to B and B to C and classified rate C to D.
    (ii) Local rate A to B and classified rate B to D.
    (iii) Classified rate A to B, local rate B to C, classified rate C to D.
    (iv) Through classified rate A to D.
    Let X, Y, and Z be stations in that order on a continuous line of railway with a local rate in
    operation between X and Z.
    A consignment from X to Y would be charged at the cheaper of the following
    computations:—
    (i) Local rate X to Z and classified rate Z to Y,
    (ii) Through classified rate X to Y,
