H. A Hazardous Cargo
Surcharge will be
applied for transporting hazardous cargo within the scope of this
tariff. The surcharge is applicable when Hazardous Materials or Dangerous Goods
are required to be listed and described as such on shipping papers prepared in
accordance with 49 CFR Part 172, Sub part C or on a Dangerous Goods Manifests
prepared in accordance with Chapter 5.4, Section 9 of the International Maritime
Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. Rates may also be subject to
Hazardous Trucking Surcharge
and/or Hazardous Materials Rail Surcharge -
See Rule
10.001
If a Hazardous Cargo description does not exist
for a commodity a Hazardous Cargo Surcharge may be applied to a non
hazardous cargo description in order to create a rate for the carriage of the
hazardous cargo (i.e.: paint carried under the description of Building
Materials, Non Hazardous). Any cargo description that contains a hazardous
description (i.e. Chemicals, Hazardous) does not imply that the Hazardous Cargo
Surcharge is included in the rate and such descriptions shall be subject to the
Hazardous Cargo Surcharge.
This surcharge does not apply on vehicles [non-electric vehicles] or Hazardous Materials classified and
shipped in Limited or Excepted Quantities, when these materials do not also
require specific segregation within the container, placarding, and stowage on
vessel [Exception: The
surcharge will apply on
Hazardous Materials classified and shipped in
Limited or Excepted Quantities
moving to or from Canada (I, A) Effective 12/01/2024]. Limited or Excepted Quantities are defined as material which presents a
limited hazard during transportation due to its form, quantity and packaging as
defined in 49 CFR and the IMDG. The IMDG defines the applicable inner packaging
quantity limit specified for each substance in column 7(a) and 7(b) of the
Dangerous Goods List in chapter 3.2. The shipper is responsible for identifying
on its shipping instructions the cargo that is being shipped in Limited or
Excepted Quantities and the applicable reference. Carrier is not responsible for
validating the information provided by the Shipper for Hazardous Materials
classified and shipped in Limited or Excepted Quantities.
