摘要总结AI 辅助解读
本法规（46 CFR § 520.6）规定了美国联邦海事委员会（FMC）对海运运价系统检索功能的技术合规要求。核心义务在于运价发布方（Publisher）必须确保其电子运价系统具备特定的搜索与展示能力，包括：支持跨运价本的通用对象搜索、非大小写敏感的文本搜索、以及基于起运地/目的地/货品的费率查询。此外，系统显示最低海运费时，必须同时列出所有适用的附加费（Assessorial charges），且每次显示均需包含发布日期、生效日期及修正代码。该规定旨在提高运价透明度，便于托运人准确核算物流成本。
- (a) General. Tariffs systems must present retrievers with the ability to:
- (1) Search for commonly understood tariff objects ( e.g., commodities, origins, destinations, etc.) without restricting such search to a specific tariff;
- (2) Search a tariff for a rate on the basis of origin, destination and commodity;
- (3) Employ a tariff selection option; or
- (4) Select an object group ( e.g., rules, locations, groups, etc.) within a particular tariff.
- (b) Search capability. Publisher must provide the capability to search for tariff matter by non-case sensitive text search. Text search matches for commodity descriptions must result in a commodity or retrievable commodity index list.
- (c) Commodities and TRIs. Retriever selection of a specific commodity from a commodity index list must display the commodity description and provide an option for searching for a rate ( e.g., on the basis of origin/destination) or a TRI list, if multiple TRIs are in effect for the commodity.
- (d) Object groups. Retriever selection of a specific object group must result in a list of the objects within the group or present a text search mechanism to allow location of an object within the group. For example, selection of the rules object group would present a list of the rules or a text search mechanism for locating specific terms or phrases within the rules.
- (e) Basic ocean freight. The minimum rate display for tariffs must consist of the basic ocean freight rate and a list of all assessorial charges and surcharges that apply for the retriever-entered shipment parameters. The tariff must indicate when other rules or charges apply to a shipment under certain circumstances.
- (f) Displays. All displays of individual tariff matter must include the publication date, effective date, amendment code (use codes in appendix A to this part), and object name or number. When applicable, a through date or expiration date must also be displayed. Use of “S” as an amendment code must be accompanied by a Commission issued special permission number.
