1. DESCRIPTIONS Specific descriptions take precedence over general descriptions in the determination of applicable rates. See also Rule 2-050. 2. PORTS Rates to specific ports take precedence over rates to base port location groups, regardless of whether origin is specific port or base port location group. To identical destinations, rates from specific ports take precedence over rates from origin port location groups. 3. RATES Where there are two or more rates subject to different rates bases or minimum quantity requirements between the same origin and destination, the rate which produces the lowest charge for the quantity of cargo tendered for shipment will apply. For the purposes of this section, a rate basis which is subject to a minimum weight, volume or count requirement will be considered as the same basis as a per container rate.
