Steps

  1. Confirm you may only charge for HHG transportation services if the rate is contained in a tariff currently in effect, per the tariff requirements for household goods carriers
  2. Draft the tariff to include an accurate description of services offered, specific applicable rates/charges/service terms, and organize it so the exact charges for any given shipment can be determined
  3. Keep the tariff at your office and make it available for inspection by the public and by government officials on demand — you generally are not required to file it with the federal government unless specifically requested
  4. Reference the tariff's availability in your bill of lading or give shippers other actual notice that it governs their shipment's rates and rules
  5. Update the tariff whenever rates, accessorial charges, or service terms change, and keep dated version records so you can show what was in effect for a given shipment
