(a) Where a consignment of timber is loaded on a bogie wagon or on a pair of N timber wagons, and the quantity is less than the prescribed minimum load for the class of wagon(s) used, the charges will be based on such minimum or, if cheaper, on the actual quantity of timber at the small lots scale plus the charge for one check wagon.

(b) Where a consignment of timber loaded on a bogie wagon or on a pair of N timber wagons also requires a four-wheeled check wagon, charges will be based on the minimum loads for one bogie and one four-wheeled wagon or, if cheaper, on the actual quantity at the small-lots scale, plus the charge for two check wagons.
