Section 16-603-13 - Classification tariff(a) A common carrier of property may file a separate classification tariff, where articles are grouped by classification and where rates for each classification are established by reference to other tariffs. A rate or rating shall be identified for each group. The tariff shall also contain an alphabetical list of all articles listed, unless the number of articles is so small that the tariff plainly discloses its contents.(b) Each common carrier of property with a classification tariff shall comply with the following rule, and shall incorporate the rule in the classification tariff: If a tariff establishes a commodity rate, the class rate on the same article between the same points or zones via the same route does not apply, unless the tariff that establishes the commodity rate explicitly allows either the commodity or the class rate to be used.
(c) All participating common carriers of property shall be named in the classification tariff. When a common carrier of property participates in a classification tariff, the common carrier or its agent shall not publish class or commodity rates that duplicate or conflict with the rates in the classification tariff.(d) The classification tariff may also contain relevant rules. These rules shall precede the list of articles in the classification tariff, and shall be consecutively numbered and separately indexed,[Eff 1/1/2019] (Auth: HRS §§ 269-6, 271-9) (Imp: HRS §§ 271-9, 271-20, 271-21)
