Creating Carrier Contract Accessorial Rates

Accessorial rates are fees charged for services provided during shipping that are outside the standard shipping process. Carrier contract accessorial rates are created for specific shipping scenarios per carrier. Users can apply the accessorial rates easily to shipments after the rate scenarios are created rather than applying the rates individually for every shipment. Many fields are context-sensitive, and when values are selected, additional fields that specific to the value display.
