APPENDIX TO THE GOODS TARIFF

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR CLASSIFICATION
AND GENERAL RULES FOR CHARGING OF FREIGHT

Classifications of the commodities have been given in the Goods Tariff
under Main Commodity Heads and four divisions of low rated
commodities.

The classification of different commodities under the Main Commodity
Head given in the Goods Tariff, if not explicitly mentioned otherwise,
will be same for their different physical forms/shapes and different
conditions, (whether raw or manufactured etc).

A commodity, which has not been included in any of the Main
Commodity Heads or four divisions of tow rated commodities given in
the Goods Tariff, will be charged at the highest Class-200.

Proposal for assigning trainload classification of a commodity not
indicated in the Goods Tariff but having a potential for block rake
loading may be sent to Railway Board.

Only train load classification of commodities has been indicated in the
Goods Tariff. The classification for wagonload movement of the
commodity will be as under:-

Traintoad Class Wagonload Class
(a) Up to Class LR ; Class 120
(b) | Above Class LR ; One Class higher than
And up to Class-190 Trainload class rate or
Class-150, whichever is
higher
(C) | Class-200 Base Freight rate of
[L Class-200 + 5%

MG and NG System: Notwithstanding anything contained in Para 5.0,
the Wagonload Class of all commodities shall be one Class higher than
their respective Trainload class when loaded on Metre Gauge (MG) and
Narrow Gauge (NG) system. However, for the commodities in the
highest Class, the Wagonload Class will be same as Trainload Class.

group of commodities.

version, the classification given in English version shall prevail.

Dangerous/hazardous commodities are indicated with alphabet “d” in
the column ‘Type of commodity’. These commodities are to be
charged at the class indicated for the Main Commodity Head. However,
all other dangerous/hazardous commodities, not listed in the Goods
Tariff but listed in the “Red Tariff”, will be charged at the highest
Class-200. Dangerous commodities will not be booked for
transportation by Rail unless they are listed in the “Red Tariff”.

All conditions for carriage of dangerous/hazardous commodities, as
laid down in the Red Tariff, must be followed.

The chargeable weight as “CC” or “Enhanced CC” for the Main
Commodity Head has been indicated in the column ‘Chargeable
Weight’.

Freight per wagon should be charged on the basis of the notified
