The tonnes of cargo assessed at the General rate of tolls as defined in the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls. (SLSDC1)

General cargo consists of those products or commodities such as timber, structural steel, rolled newsprint, concrete forms, agricultural equipment that are not conducive to packaging or unitization. Break-bulk cargo (e.g., packaged products such as lubricants and cereal) are often regarded as a subdivision of general cargo. (MARAD1)
