HTOS and GSA-01 Tariff Updates for 11/1/09

Our billing form and AccuBill have recently been updated to include the following HTOS and GSA-01 tariff updates that were effective 11-01-09 for Department of State invoicing. The changes that were provided to the Industry and updated in our systems are as follows:

HTOS and GSA-01 had no rate changes or increases for this tariff cycle.

A: Changes made to the billing form for billable weight changes when a shipment is reweighed include:

1. All shipments, DOM, INT, BAG with pickup less than 11-01-09, utilize
reweigh weight. (this is regardless if higher or lower)

2. DOM only, 11-01-09 to current, utilize lower of the two.

3. DOM only all, if origin weight is over 18000, utilize lower of the two.

Note: Daycos is awaiting final clarification from GSA as to whether these specific rules apply to INT/BAG; or if INT/BAG stays at the current process of using reweigh weight always (the billing form remains unchanged for INT/BAG for now).

B: New ServCode for DOM and INT (not BAG) for TVCARTON, eff. 11-01-09, billable at $105.00 flat rate, no percentages apply.

C: Sit delivery charge change from 30 to 50 for DOM GSA – already at 50, not 30, so no further changes were needed.

D: Previously implemented the addition of split country rates for Australia, split officially effective with 11-01-09 RFO.
