Container Level Routing Restrictions

There are eight container level routing restrictions:

Maximum Unit Weight
Maximum Size
Maximum Length
Maximum Width
Maximum Height
Maximum Container Longest Side
Maximum Container Second Longest Side
Maximum Container Shortest Side

When container level details have been supplied to the routing process, container level maximums are enforced versus the attributes of individual containers:

The Length, Width and Height are expressed from the persepctive of a single occurrence of the container and compared directly to routing restriction maximums with the corresponding names.
Length, Width and Height are also sequenced in descending order and then compared to the maximums for longest, second longest and shortest side.
Maximum Size is compared to Size which is computed as Length + 2(Width + Height), where Length is the longest side for the container.
The Unit Weight for an individual occurrence of a container will be established by dividing the total weight for the container by the Quantity. Enforcement for Maximum Unit Weight is performed using the actual weight of the container, not the equivalent weights used for rating purposes.

When container level details have not been supplied to the routing process (for example, for NOFs, Rate Calculator web UI requests and some Rate Quotation API requests), the Length, Width and Height will be accessed from the applicable Container Type. In this case, the Weight for each virtual shipment will be compared to the Maximum Unit Weight while the total weight for the NOF or Rate Quotation will be compared to the Maximum (Transaction) Weight.
