Tariff contents shall contain certain information:
1. Table of contents, arranged in alphabetical order, showing the number of the page and/or item number on which each subject may be found.

2. A complete list of all carriers participating in the tariff, or reference to the governing publication which participation is shown.
3. A complete index of all commodities on which specific rates are named therein, together with reference to the page and/or items in which they are shown. No index need be shown in tariffs of less than five pages, or if all the rates to each destination are alphabetically arranged by commodities.
4. Explanations of all notes, abbreviations, symbols and reference marks used in tariff.
5. Rules that govern in clear and explicit terms, setting forth all privileges and services covered.
6. Any exceptions to the application of rates named, and non-application of rates named therein.
7. All line haul transportation rates shall be explicitly stated in dollars and cents.

a. The charges for packing and unpacking shall be stated in amounts per container or per hundred weight.
b. An hourly labor charge may be established to cover miscellaneous labor services performed at the request of the shipper when a rate is not separately stated for the service requested.
