Page History

One or more products offered on your site may incur a dangerous goods surcharge, e.g., if they are flammable or hazardous. Such goods can be flagged as 'dangerous goods' in Product Maintenance. The dangerous goods surcharge freight option must be switched on by Commerce Vision. It may also require custom implementation depending on your freight setup.  When this feature is active, freight estimate estimates and available freight options in the cart will indicate a dangerous good surcharge has been added. (TIP- This message can be edited in the Freight Options Widget.)
