A. FRACTIONAL CUBIC FEET- Each item on the Bill of Lading
shall be considered separately. On a single package of
less than one cubic foot it shall be freighted at one
cubic foot. On a single package in excess of one cubic
foot, if the fraction is less than one-half cubic foot,
it shall be dropped. If the fraction is one-half cubic
foot or over, it shall be taken to the next cubic foot.
On each item on a Bill of Lading consisting of two or
more packages, actual fractions shall be used to
determine the total measurement of all the packages.
Where the total results in a fraction, such fraction
shall be dropped if less than one-half cubic foot. If
the fraction is one-half cubic foot or over, it shall
be taken to the next full cubic foot. All irregular
shaped objects will be measured by multiplying the
three dimensions and that the measurement used for each
dimension will be the "outside" measurement of that
dimension.
B. FRACTIONAL INCHES - All fractions under one-half inch
shall be dropped. All fractions over one-half inch
shall be taken to the next full inch. Where a fraction
of exactly one-half inch occurs in one dimension, it
shall be taken to the next full inch. Where a fraction
of exactly one-half inch occurs in two dimensions, the
one on the smaller dimensions shall be taken to the full
inch and the other dropped. However, if both dimensions
are equal, increase one fraction to the next inch and
drop the other. Where fractions of exactly one-half
inch occure in three dimensions, those on the largest
and smallest dimensions shall be taken to the next inch
and the other dropped. However, if all three
dimensions are equal, increase two of the fractions to
the next full inch and drop the other. All irregular
shaped objects will be measured by multiplying the
three dimensions and that the measurement used for each
dimension will be "outside" measurement of that
dimension.
C. FRACTIONAL DIMENSIONS-Cubic Measurement for the
individual pieces or packages will be computed in
accordance with the following rules regarding fraction
of centimeters:
1) All fractions under one-half (1/2) centimeter are
to be dropped.
2) all fractions over one-half (1/2) centimeter are to
be extended to the next full centimeter.
3) Where fractions of exactly one-half (1/2) centimeter
occur on one dimension, it shall be extended to the
next full centimeter.
4) When extending freight charges on Bills of Lading,
the total measurement at each rate shall be rounded
off to the nearest 1/1000 (one/one-thousandth cubic
meter.)
5) All irregular shaped objects will be measured by
multiplying the three dimensions and that the
measurement used for each dimension will be the
"outside" measurement of that dimension.
