Classification Boundaries

How to Read This Map Correctly

The map is designed for classification and quote planning. It does not replace human review.

Signals Are Starting Points Customer language can be incomplete or ambiguous. Intake signals help route the request, but service fit still depends on review.
Fields Reduce Back-and-Forth Required fields, conditional fields, proof fields, access fields, release fields, vehicle fields, and timing fields help customers submit clearer quote requests the first time.
Review Flags Matter Restricted access, unconfirmed release, urgent deadlines, heavy freight, installation requests, regulated items, airfreight assumptions, legal assumptions, and unclear boundaries require additional review.

Boundary note: This map does not guarantee service, price, timing, dispatch acceptance, air movement, cargo release, carrier authority, customs authority, legal authority, medical handling status, installation, assembly, storage, disposal, or specialized service acceptance. Royal Courier reviews request details before service is confirmed.
