Gifts or serv-ices or anything of substantial value to particular shippers or their representa-tives are considered violations of the law. Expenditures for such gifts may not supp

Carriers should adjust claims for damages resulting from misrouting. Where a carrier admits responsibility for billing, forward
7、ing, or diverting a shipment over a higher rated route than that directed by the shipper or otherwise available, the misrouting carrier should refund the difference to the shipper (or reimburse the deliv-ering carrier, as the case may be). Where the misrouting carrier alleges justification for using
8、 the higher rated route, the Board may, at its discretion and upon appropriate petition, deter-mine or express an advisory opinion on the lawfulness of such routing. This in-terpretation must not be used to evade or defeat tariff rates or to meet the rate of a competing carrier or route, nor to reli
9、eve a shipper from responsi-bility for routing instruction. Damages caused by misrouting are not over-charges.
