Pipeline Transportation · NAICS 486 · Freight Invoice
A freight invoice for pipeline transportation is a critical billing document that details charges for moving crude oil, refined products, or natural gas liquids through a pipeline system. Unlike standard trucking invoices, pipeline invoices must align with FERC-regulated tariffs and often include complex calculations based on barrel-mileage, product type, and surcharges. This tool helps pipeline operators and shippers generate accurate, professional invoices that meet industry expectations and reduce billing disputes.
A tariff rate is the approved per-unit charge for transporting a specific product between two points, as filed with FERC or state regulators. It is multiplied by the quantity (e.g., barrels) to calculate the base transportation charge.
Yes, you can include surcharges if they are permitted under your tariff or contract. Common surcharges include line fill, environmental fees, and energy surcharges. Clearly itemize them on the invoice.
The invoice should include a dispute resolution process, such as a deadline for notifying the carrier of discrepancies. Typically, shippers have 30-60 days to contest charges before the invoice becomes final.
