  4. i-parcel, LLC uses the International Volumetric Standard (Length x Width x Height / 166 = imperial pounds) to calculate dimensional weight when it applies. When the International Volumetric Standard exceeds the actual weight of a shipment in pounds, it becomes the billable weight of the shipment.
  5. i-parcel, LLC is not a common carrier and will only carry documents or goods subject to these Conditions. i-parcel, LLC will not carry dangerous, hazardous, combustible or explosive materials, gold and silver bullion, coin, dust, cyanides, precipitates, or any form of uncoined gold and silver ore bullion, platinum and other precious metals, precious and semi-precious stones including commercial carbons or industrial diamonds, currency (paper or coin) of any nationality, negotiable securities, stocks, bonds, certificates, uncancelled postage or revenue stamps, war savings or thrift stamps, blank or endorsed bank cashiers' checks, money orders or traveler's checks, letters, antiques, pictures, livestock or plants.

In the event i-parcel, LLC advances duties, taxes or other fees, the customer will be assessed a surcharge based on a flat rate or a percentage of the total amount advanced. The amount will vary by country. At i-parcel, LLC’s sole discretion, it may require advance payment or confirmation of reimbursement arrangements as a precondition to completion of clearance and delivery including, but not limited to, cases of deliveries to recipients that i-parcel believes are not creditworthy and of shipments with high declared values. Any rates quoted by i-parcel, LLC for carriage are inclusive of local airport taxes but exclusive of any value added taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deposits or outlays incurred in respect of carriage of the customer’s documents or goods.
