Accessorials

Accessorial charges available for LTL and parcel shipments.

Accessorials are additional services applied to a shipment. Pass them in the charges array of your rate request.

LTL accessorials

Charge	Description
arrival notice	Destination wants notification before delivery
arrival schedule	Destination requires a delivery appointment
liftgate pickup	Liftgate needed at the pickup location
liftgate delivery	Liftgate needed at the delivery location

inside delivery	Carrier brings freight inside the delivery facility

arrival notice and arrival schedule are mutually exclusive. Include one or the other, not both.

Facility type charges

Location-based charges (residential delivery, trade show, limited access, etc.) are applied automatically based on the originType and destType fields. You do not need to list them as accessorials.

For example, setting destType: "residential" automatically adds the residential delivery surcharge.

Parcel accessorials

signature required	Requires a signature at delivery
adult signature required	Requires an adult signature at delivery
indirect signature required	Allows an indirect signature (FedEx only, residential destinations only)
