HazMat fee for only some items

[beingforthebenefit]

Hi all,

 

I'm running an ammunition dealer's website and whenever we ship gunpowder or primers, UPS charges a $27 hazmat fee. I would like so when a customer checks out, this is listed in charges as a hazmat fee, but only for the items that need it. I've been searching for a while and can't find a way that doesn't tie in to the shipping module. I use UPS XML as my shipping module.

 

Thanks!

Gerald

Hi - is the fee 'per item' or one fee 'per order' should there be a qualifying item in the cart?

There is a commercial addon for Hazmat available if you search Google.

@@beingforthebenefit There isn't anything available in oscommerce for this. You need to add a new field to the products table to mark each product that should have the note applied and then make a change to the UPS module to add text to the shipping methods for those items. By the way, I recently coded something similar to this for a client but he also ships USPS and they don't allow some items to be shipped. I don't recall the restrictions for UPS but it seems like there were some but his products may have been more hazardous than yours - just something to be aware of.
