3rd edition, May 2016 - Translation The development of computerised charging for international consignments has created the need to establish principles governing tariff codes and numbering. The objectives set are: accurate identification of international tariffs by means of a number to denote each tariff and used as its code, indication of international tariffs within the code system used for tariffs generally. References in this leaflet to "tariffs" also include special agreements under the terms of Article 6 of the CIM, which provide for the granting of reductions in carriage charges or ancillary charges in conjunction with the despatch procedure (e.g. via centralised charging systems). The word "tariffs" does not cover special agreements providing for reductions in carriage charges after forwarding has taken place, i.e. through rebates.
