Tariff updates for IW08

Our billing program and AccuBill have recently been updated with the IW08 changes found in the I-21 Solicitation that went into effect for International shipments with pickup dates of 10/01/08 and after.

The changes are as follows:

INT/BAG – new tariff updates (I-21)

A. Item 415a – Holidays: Holiday over time clarification. “Overtime rates must be pre-approved, authorized and confirmed, in writing by the PPSO.”

B. Incorporated the following Air Force Regionalization consolidations:

1. Pennsylvania – Transferred responsibility of DMAC to DMAT(Carlisle Barracks, PA) – See Change 1 below – DMAT reverted right back to DMAC
2. Virginia – Transferred responsibility of BGFC to AGFM (JPPSO MA – Massachusetts)

c. Changed reference name from JPPSO NE to JPSSO MA – previous typo error, no programmatical changes.

D. Updated Criteria for use of OTO Rates: “A personal watercraft such as a Jet Ski and/or associated trailer exceeding 14 feet shipped under BOTO procedure.”

E. The remaining tariff updates reflect word, tariff rate labels and country reference changes only.

FYI – Tariff I-21 does not have any SIT, Delivery, Reweigh, etc. rate changes, as traditionally found for each cycle.

CHANGE 1 to I-21 –effective 10-01-08
A. Reinstated the following additional Air Force Regionalization consolidation from above:

1. Pennsylvania – Transferred responsibility DMAT to DMAC(CEKSF, Oakdale, PA)

CHANGE 2 to I-21 –effective 10-01-08
A. Item 526 Diversion – Item Codes A through K – Verbiage added and revised for HHG SIT and Port Handling Diversion Charges. At this time nothing can programmatically be changed. Waiting for Item Code Spreadsheet updates to be finalized in CWA and PowerTrack before we can change our Item Code references.

CHANGE 3 to I-21 –effective 10-01-08
A. Added Item Code (508G) – corrugated Carton for Flat Panel Television, included verbiage for Flat Panel Television. Again, at this time nothing can programmatically be changed.

B. Item Code 508 for external and internal crates – Changed verbiage for compensation of internal and external crates. New statement added “No rounding of cubic dimensions is allowed.” No programmatical change as we were already aware of this and implemented no rounding of Cubic Feet on 4-18-08.
