What is a Tariff?
A tariff is simply a online publication that lists a carrier’s rates, charges, rules, and operating practices. In other words, it’s where carriers explain how they price and provide their transportation services.
The purpose of publishing tariffs is to give the shipping community transparent and reliable information. Shippers can use this information to:
-
Understand the costs and service options available for moving their cargo from point A to point B
-
Compare different carriers’ offerings to make informed choices
-
Ensure they’re being treated fairly and not placed at a disadvantage compared to competitors
-
Tariffs also give carriers insight into the marketplace, helping them monitor competition and better understand trade dynamics.
