Section 16-605-18 - Exceptions to class rates(a) A rate for an article lower than the rates for classes of articles must be published as a commodity rate, or if the article is otherwise included in a class of articles for which a class rate has been established, as an exception to the class. Exceptions must be published as part of a tariff of class rates under the heading "Exceptions to Classification" or in a separate tariff. If a separate tariff of exceptions is published, specific reference to the exceptions must be made in all rate tariffs where the exceptions are applicable.(b) 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. The provisions of this subsection must be included in the classification tariff. [Eff 1/1/2019] (Auth: HRS §§ 269-6, 271G-7) (Imp: HRS §§ 269-6, 271G-7, 271G-16, 271G-17)
