Rates

  • Rates and charges are calculated by the package's actual weight or its cubic dimensional weight, whichever is greater.
  • The cubic dimensional weight of the Shipment derived from the total cubic measurement (H x W x L ÷ 194). Dimensions of ½” or greater are rounded up to the next whole number; dimensions of less than ½” are rounded down. Multiply the Height (H) times the Width (W) times the Length (L) (all measurements in inches), divide by 194. The final calculation is rounded up to the whole pound.
  • The maximum weight of any single package is 200 pounds (including packaging).
  • The maximum weight per package for seafood may not exceed 175 pounds.
  • A package may not exceed 90 total inches. Total inches can be determined by adding the length, plus width, plus height of the shipping container. Packages exceeding 90 total inches are subject to advance arrangements by calling (800) 533-1222.
  • The rates and charges are subject to Federal Excise Tax.
