1. Dangerous Goods
Dangerous goods are articles or substances which are capable of posing a significant risk to health, safety or to property when transported by air. Some dangerous goods are too dangerous to be carried by aircraft, others may be carried on cargo aircraft only, and some are acceptable on both cargo and passenger aircraft. Refer to all applicable dangerous goods regulations, such as the IATA "Dangerous Goods Regulations," to determine whether goods may be accepted for transportation by air.
If only part of a consignment is subject to the IATA "Dangerous Goods Regulations," such articles must be offered separately and indicated on the air waybill.
Dangerous goods are assigned to one or more of the following nine UN hazard classes:

• Class 1 Explosives.
  • Division 1.1 Articles and substances having a mass explosion hazard.
  • Division 1.2 Articles and substances having a projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.
  • Division 1.3 Articles and substances having a fire hazard, a minor blast hazard and/or a minor projection hazard but not a mass explosion hazard.
  • Division 1.4 Articles and substances presenting no specific hazard.
  • Division 1.5 Very insensitive substances having a mass explosion hazard.
  • Division 1.6 Extremely insensitive articles which do not have a mass explosion hazard.
• Class 2 Gas.
  • Division 2.1 Flammable gas.
  • Division 2.2 Non-flammable, non-toxic gas.
  • Division 2.3 Toxic gas.
• Class 3 Flammable Liquids.
• Class 4 Flammable Solids.
  Substances liable to spontaneous combustion; substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases:
  • Division 4.1 Flammable solids.
  • Division 4.2 Substances liable to spontaneous combustion.

• Class 8 Corrosives.
• Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods.

Before packing any dangerous goods for air transportation, the shipper must:

1. Identify, correctly and fully, all dangerous articles and dangerous substances within the consignment;
2. Classify each item of dangerous goods by determining under which of the nine classes it falls and, where relevant, determining any subsidiary hazards; and
3. Where relevant, assign each item of dangerous goods to one of the three packing groups within the assigned class or division:
   • Packing Group I: great danger
   • Packing Group II: medium danger
   • Packing Group III: minor danger

Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods
A Shipper's Declaration for Dangerous Goods, where required, must be completed in duplicate and properly signed.
One signed copy must be retained by the accepting carrier; the other signed copy must be forwarded with the shipment to its destination.

Labeling
The shipper shall attach to the package containing dangerous goods:

• the proper dangerous goods label, the "This Side Up" label and,
• for carriage of packages acceptable only on cargo aircraft, the "Cargo Aircraft only" label.

For detailed information regarding acceptability, classification, handling, packaging, marking and labeling, refer to the IATA "Dangerous Goods Regulations."

   The points of support to be used for loading should be apparent and if not, clearly indicated. Loading by means of a forklift should be taken into consideration, and a 5 cm/2 in. space between the ground and the support to allow the forks to slip beneath the support.
   
   If the center of gravity of a machine is such that the shipment may become unbalanced during loading operations, this should be mentioned on the air waybill and a notice placed on the machine to draw the attention of loading personnel to this fact.
3. Anchoring
   Anchorage points should be chosen, taking into account the possibilities offered by the floor and walls of the aircraft.
4. Protection
   Fragile or dangerous parts of the machine should be protected in such a way that there can be no confusion that these parts are used for either loading or anchoring. Fragile parts must be protected against bad weather conditions (rain, dust, freezing temperatures).

3. Machinery Castings or Steelwork, uncrated
These articles must be presented so that they can be easily handled and anchored. Particularly:

• Use of a forklift must be possible.

4. Perishables
Articles of a perishable nature which are liable to deteriorate or perish due to changes in climate, temperature, altitude, or normal exposure, or length of time in transit must be properly packed for air carriage so as to ensure that the perishables can be carried safely with ordinary care in handling and that it is reasonably certain they will reach their destination in good condition.

• All charges which should have been, but were not, collected from the original consignee must be specified in the applicable boxes on the returning air waybill as "Charges Collect."

1. If the consignee refuses or fails to take delivery of the consignment after its arrival at the place of delivery, FedEx Express will endeavor to comply with the applicable instructions of the shipper on the air waybill.
   
   In the absence of such instructions or if the instructions cannot reasonably be complied with, FedEx Express will endeavor to notify the shipper of the consignee's failure to take delivery and request the shipper's instructions.
   
   If no instructions are received within 30 days after this notification, FedEx Express may sell such consignment in one or more lots at public or private sale; or destroy or abandon the consignment.
   
   Note: The shipper and owner are both liable for all charges and expenses resulting from the consignee's failure to take delivery of the consignment, including the charges for returning the consignment to the airport of origin (if so required by the shipper's instructions). If the consignment is returned to the airport of origin and the shipper or owner does not make such payments within fifteen days, FedEx Express may sell the consignment in one or more lots at public or private sale after giving ten days' notice to the shipper of its intention to do so.
2. In the event of sale of the consignment, FedEx Express will deduct from the proceeds all charges and expenses incurred in connection with the transportation, storage or sale of the consignment before paying balance to the shipper.

When a consignment containing perishable articles is delayed while in the possession of FedEx Express, is unclaimed or refused at place of delivery, or for other reasons is threatened with deterioration, FedEx Express may immediately take the following steps as it sees fit for the protection of itself and other interested parties:

• the destruction or abandonment of all or any part of the shipment;
• sending of communications for instructions at the cost of the shipper;
• the storage of the shipment or any part thereof at the risk and cost of the shipper; or,
• the disposition of the shipment or any part thereof at public or private sale without notice.

In the event of sale, FedEx Express is authorized to pay itself and other transportation services out of the proceeds of such sale all charges, advances and expenses of FedEx Express and other transportation services plus costs of sale, holding any surplus subject to the order of the shipper.
The sale of any shipment will not discharge the shipper and/or owner of any liability to pay any deficiencies.
For consignments refused entry by the country/territory of destination, the shipper is responsible for incineration or destruction of the cargo and/or all costs associated therewith.

1. Computation of Charges
The computation of charges shall be made on a "per kilogram" basis. Fractions of a kilogram are rounded up to the next higher kilogram.
The "rate" is the amount charged for the transportation of a unit of weight (kg. or lb.). Applicable rates are the published rates in effect on the date of issuance of the air waybill by FedEx Express or its agent.
The "charge" is the amount to be paid for transportation of a consignment or for incidental service(s) in connection with such transportation. The charge depends on the value declared for carriage by the shipper and on the weight/volume of the consignment.
There are various types of cargo rates and charges:

• Minimum charges
  In no event shall the charge for any consignment be less than the minimum charge as shown in these Terms and Conditions.
• FedEx International Premium
  FedEx International Premium rates apply for the carriage of commodities which require the highest priority for time-definite airport-to-airport services.
• FedEx International Express Freight (IXF)
  FedEx International Express Freight rates apply for carriage of commodities which require a time-definite airport-to-airport service.
• Class rates
  Commodity classification rates, known as class rates (Exceptions), apply to a few commodities within or between certain designated areas. They are usually stated in terms of a percentage increase to the International Premium or International Express Freight rates.
• Unitized consignments
  Special container rates may apply to consignments presented in Unit Load Devices (ULD/Containers).

2. Chargeable Weight
The chargeable weight is either the actual gross weight, the volume weight or the positional weight (if applicable), whichever is greater. If a lower total charge results from applying the rate for the minimum weight for a higher weight break, the higher weight break will be used as chargeable weight for the consignment.

3. Volume Weight
The cubic volume of a consignment is established by applying the greatest length, the greatest width and the greatest height of the consignment or its packages. Consignments which result in an average of more than 6,000 cubic centimeters per kilogram/166 cubic inches per pound shall be charged on the volume weight.
Centimeters-kilograms
Round up a half or larger fraction of a centimeter to the next highest centimeter; a fraction less than half round down to the next lower whole centimeter.

The chargeable weight is established by dividing the cubic volume in cubic centimeters by 6,000. Kilograms are rounded up to the next higher full or half kilogram.
Inches-pounds
Round up a half or larger fraction of an inch to the next highest inch; a fraction less than half round down to the next lower whole inch.

The chargeable weight is established by dividing the cubic volume in cubic inches by 166. Pounds are rounded up to the next higher pound.

Transportation charges will be calculated using the greater of the actual or volume weight, based on 166 cubic inches per pound or 6,000 cubic centimeters per kilogram (L x W x H ÷ 166 (cu in.) or 6,000 (cu cm) = volume weight).

4. Positional Weight
The chargeable weight for consignments containing one or more pieces in excess of 318 cm (125 in.), or which totally or partially prevent other freight from being loaded on the same pallet, will be based on the greater of:

• The minimum weight required for the applicable rate
• The actual gross weight of the consignment
• The volumetric weight
• The following positional weight per pallet (or fraction) occupied:

Note: If a shipment must be transloaded from one aircraft type to another for carrier convenience, the positional weight will be based on the aircraft type used to provide the international portion of carriage. Where different aircraft types are used for two international legs of a single shipment, the first aircraft type will be used to determine positional weight.
Positional weight charges are not applicable for single-piece shipments weighing less than 150 lb and having no dimension in excess of 176 inches.

We reserve the right to assess a NAVCAN Fee, a fuel surcharge and a Special Handling Fee on shipments without notice. The amount and duration of any such fee or surcharge will be applied in our sole discretion.

Shippers must declare a value for carriage on the air waybill. This declaration may be a specific amount or NVD (No Value Declared). The value per pound or per kilogram for applying valuation charges will be determined by dividing the shipper's declared value for carriage by the actual gross weight of the consignment as declared in the Gross Weight box on the air waybill.
Consignments valued at more than the Convention liability limit will be assessed valuation charges of 0.50% of the shipper's declared value for carriage exceeding the Convention liability limit subject to a minimum charge of $2.00 (or local currency equivalent).
Note: For shipments of valuable cargo/articles of extraordinary value the maximum declared value is $500 or the Convention liability limit, whichever is applicable. Any effort to declare a value in excess of this limit will be null and void.
THE DECLARED VALUE FOR CARRIAGE CANNOT EXCEED THE DECLARED VALUE FOR CUSTOMS.
For all shipments other than valuable cargo/articles of extraordinary value, the maximum declared value for carriage will be limited to $100,000 (unless special arrangements are made).
The declared value for carriage applies for the actual gross weight of the consignment, excluding the weight of airline-owned ULDs. Value declarations for individual parts of the shipment only, or higher or lower value declarations for some parts of a shipment, are not permitted.

1. Minimum charges are available by calling 1.866.SHIP.IXF (1-866-744-7436).
2. When the weight or volume charge for a consignment is lower than the minimum charge, the minimum charge shall apply.
3. Any valuation charge shall not be included with the weight or volume charges.
4. Minimum charges apply on a consignment basis.
