LETTER · DOCX + PDF
Rate variation letter
A letter for transport operators passing a published terminal access charge (TAC) increase through to customers. It frames the change as a cost pass-through that follows the stevedore’s own schedule, not a discretionary rate rise, and points at the dated source notice so the customer can verify it.
WHEN TO USE IT
- A stevedore has published a TAC or infrastructure surcharge increase.
- You need to vary cartage rates and want the letter to cite the source, not just assert a number.
- A customer has queried an increase and you want the notice, the date and the figure in one place.
BEFORE YOU SEND IT
A starting structure, not legal advice. Facts win these arguments: cite the schedule, the dates, and the source document. Replace every [bracketed] field with your own specifics and attach the source before you send it.
KEEP THE FACTS CURRENT
Fill it in with numbers you can stand behind
The schedules these templates cite move. Save your lines and we'll tell you the day a rate or free-time rule changes, so the letter you send next month is right.
