Please select Name of the Carrier (VOCC/NVOCC) for whom the filing is effectuated.
2. Your Reference No. (OPTIONAL)
Please add any reference No./ Booking No. etc. you want to be part of the filing. This feature is only applicable, if you have Internet access to the tariff, where such information will be showed. As default, the N/A (Not Applicable) is showed.
Each new commodity description in the tariff is assigned a 10-digits No. which will appear on the e-Tariff pages. If you want to file a new rate (TLI) under a previously created commodity description, please state the 10-digit Commodity No. If the commodity description does not exist in the tariff, please state "NEW".
If the request calls for a change to an already existing rate (TLI), please state the 14-digits TLI No., which each rate in the tariff has (please refer to each individual e-Tariff page). Please, also make a note in the Comments field, as to which change is applicable like: "Present rate $1250".
Please state the commercial description of the merchandize which is going to be shipped just as it is stated in a S.E.D. filing for export cargoes or AMS for import cargoes. The description should be as detailed as possibly, enabling the Carrier to file similar, but different descriptions, at different rate levels. If a commodity No. or TLI No. has been entered, just state a brief description for verification of such No.
State the tariff rate in U.S. Dollars ONLY in the format 1,234.00. For LCL (Less than Container Load) cargo and rate basis WM, W or M, the rate is understood to be per 1000 KGS / 1 CBM or 2000 LBS / 40 CFT, as defined when the tariff was created. Please consult your e-Tariff pages, where a statement to this effect is stated in the upper part of each e-Tariff page.
Should you wish to file a LCL rate at a different WM basis that the tariff is based. please make a notation in the comment field below, like "Rate basis is per 1000KGS /1 CBM" if the tariff basis is 2000 LBS / 40 CFT.
6. Minimum Rate (OPTIONAL)
Only applicable for LCL cargo. Most tariffs have 1 freight-ton as the minimum rate i.e. the freight rate (TLI rate) is the minimum amount plus any charges and/or surcharges. Should you wish to file a different minimum amount (i.e. different than the TLI rate), please state the amount in the format 1,234.00
The effective date by default is the date you request the rate. If LALANDIA receives the tariff filing request after 4:00 PM (or 16:00 hours), the filing might have effective date the next day. Please state the date in the format mm/dd/yyyy like "09/15/2003" if you wish the rate to come into effect at a later date than the filing request date.
8. Expiration Date (OPTIONAL)
Effective and economical tariff management require the Carrier to keep a clean and user friendly tariff. By expiring new rates after 30, 60, 90 or even 120 days when filing the rate request, keeps the commodity rate level open for any price increase without having to give a 30 days notice period. In a competitive environment, no rate stays firm for longer than 90 days. In fact, if the a Carrier and the shipper/Consignee want to keep a rate for a longer period, a Service Contact (VOCC) or Time Volume Agreement (VOCC/NVOCC) are a better option for the parties.
If the rate request covers a one time shipment at an attractive rate level (of the Shipper), it is recommended to expire the rate within the minimum allowed time frame of 30 days. If the possibility exists, that it could be a repeat business, a 90 days expiration time frame is recommend.
It is recommend, though, that any rate request is expired after 360 days (one year), as no rate remains at the same level for 1 year. This way the tariff stays clean and a costly tariff clean-up can be avoided later on.
There are 3 different main options, namely a NEW rate, an INCREASE to an already existing rate on file or a DECREASE of an already existing rate on file. Each of these 3 options can be filed with an EXPIRATION date, if the expiration date has been entered above. An expiration date has to be at least 30 days after the effective date.
If the filing request is for an INCREASE to an already existing rate on file, the effective date has to be 30 days after the date the request is forwarded to Lalandia.
10. From (OPTIONAL)
For intermodal use ONLY. Please state City name and ZIP from where the container is transferred to the Port of Load (POL). The service type is normally a DOOR or CONTAINER YARD movement and the cost of such intermodal transport is included in the Basic-Ocean-Freight (the freight rate for full container loads). If, on the other hand, an inland table is used in a connection with this tariff, the inland city should not be filed, as the inland cost will automatically be added, when such a city is added in the calculation screen. An inland table covers all rates filed in a tariff.
Please select the port or GROUP of ports from where the cargo is loaded into the ocean vessel.
12. To (OPTIONAL)
For intermodal use ONLY. Please state City name, State and ZIP from where the container is transferred from the Port of Discharge (POD). The service type is normally a DOOR or CONTAINER YARD movement and the cost of such intermodal transport is included in the Basic-Ocean-Freight (the freight rate for full container loads). If, on the other hand, an inland table is used in a connection with this tariff, the inland city should not be filed, as the inland cost will automatically be added, when such a city is added in the calculation screen. An inland table covers all rates filed in a tariff.
Please select the port or GROUP of ports to where the cargo will be discharged from the ocean vessel.
Select the Service Type which corresponds to the shipment. For full container loads, the YY=Container Yard to Container Yard or HH=House to Hose is used. When thru intermodal service is offered, the Door type is used in connection with Y and H, like DY, YD, HD or DH.
For LCL cargo, the SS=Container Station to Container Station type is used.
Select the corresponding Rate Basis, which is applicable. For containers, please use Per Container (PC) while LCL cargo can either be W, M or W/M. For vehicles and machinery, normally EACH is used, which requires the dimensions of such vehicle or machinery to be noted in the comment field below. If LUMPSUM is used as rate basis, NO charges or surcharges are applicable!
Select the corresponding container size. For LCL cargo, always use LTL as container size. For 40' Containers you can use 40' any height (40X), which will cover both a standard and a highcube 40' container.
