If you elect to adopt an HGCBC tariff, you should
keep in mind that you can customize the HGCBC tariffs to fit your own operation. Some
of the changes that you may wish to consider making in your own individual tariffs, in
addition to any exceptions that you may have published in HGCBC Exceptions Tariff
104, are
- Changing the baseline tariff level of rates to reduce or increase any of the
transportation rates, the SIT-related rates, or the packing or unpacking rates.
- Changing or waiving the Full Packing/Full Unpacking option and instead using
the Custom Pack Option when determining packing and unpacking rates for all
shipments.
- Changing or waiving the seasonal (peak season) rate adjustment.
- Changing or waiving the Fuel Cost Price Adjustment (Surcharge).
- Changing or waiving the annual General Price Adjustment that provides for an
automatic rate adjustment on January 1st of each calendar year.
- Or any other changes in the rates, charges and other provisions that they wish to
make.
