You may refer to the following table as a guide on what the rate card details are.

Header	Details
Rate ID	The rate ID indicated on your carrier's rate card
Service Alias	The service alias indicated on your carrier's rate card
Origin	The corresponding zone name in zone list from your carrier. E.g. SYD.
Destination	The corresponding zone name in zone list from your carrier. E.g. SYD.
Rating Method	Unit of Measure used to calculate rates. The acceptable values for this column are: KG ITEM PALL VOLUME TIME DISTKM
Basic Rate	Basic rate charged for consignment. This should be provided by the carrier and maybe referred to as a Consignment Fee, Basic Rate or Basic Charge.
Basic Quantity	This indicates the number of "units" that the Basic Rate includes and should be included in the carrier rate sheet. For KG (weight) based rates, the carrier may also refer to this as the "first X kgs".
Additional Rate	This is the rate that applies per unit after the Basic Quantity amount has been crossed
Additional Quantity	The number of units covered by each Additional Rate.
Minimum Price	The minimum price that can be charged. If the usual rate calculation is less than the minimum price then the minimum price will apply. If the carrier does not specify a minimum price you should put zero in this column as it cannot be left blank.
Max Rate Break	This column is particularly important where a carrier has tiers (or weight breaks) in their rates. This scenario allows a carrier to have a different per kilo rate for heavier shipments. In such scenarios, there will be multiple rows with the same origin and destination zones but different values in Max Quantity.
Valid From	Date when the rates will start to apply. This can be set to a future date if the rates will not be applied immediately after the upload.
Valid Until	Date when the rates will expire.
