Prequisites
The dangerous goods surcharge freight option must be switched on by Commerce Vision. It may also require custom implementation depending on your freight setup.
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. When this feature is active, freight 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.)
Free Freight Promo Code?
For version 4.31 , the system will remove the dangerous goods surcharge if a free shipping promo code applied is valid.
