§11916. Conclusiveness of rates in certain prosecutions
When a carrier files with the Interstate Commerce Commission or publishes a particular rate under chapter 107 of this title or participates in one of those rates, the published or filed rate is conclusive proof against that carrier, its officers, and agents that it is the legal rate for that transportation or service in a proceeding begun under section 11902 or 11903 of this title. A departure, or offer to depart, from that rate is a violation of those sections.
