[![](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/edu_oscommerce_103_zone-rate-shipping_zone-rate-shipping-option.png)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/edu_oscommerce_103_zone-rate-shipping_zone-rate-shipping-option.png)

In this article we will walk you through the *installation* and *configuration* of the **Zone Rates** *shipping module*, which charges a specific price per weight for a specific [Tax Zone](/support/edu/oscommerce/setting-tax-rates-in-oscommerce/).

As an example, you can create a zone for Australia, and charge $5.00 for up to 4.99lbs, $10.00 for 5.00lbs-9.99lbs, and $15.00 shipping for anything over 10lbs.**
**

## Installing the Zone Rates module:

1. [Login to the Admin section of osCommerce](/support/edu/oscommerce/how-to-log-into-oscommerce/).
2. Click **Modules** in the menu, then **Shipping**.
3. Click the **+Install Module** button.
4. In the modules list, click **Zone Rates**, then the **+Install Module** button to the right.
5. Now click the *Zone Rates* module, then click the **Edit** button to the right. You can then modify the Zone Rate settings, below is a brief description of the options: Option Description Enable Zones Method Choosing **True** turns this shipping option on. Choose **False** and this shipping option will be turned off. Tax Class Choose a tax class to charge tax on shipping. Sort Order You can set where this module is displayed on the list: 0 will be on the top, and higher numbers will be listed in numerical order. Zone 1 Countries Enter ISO country codes here separated by a comma, these should be 2 digit codes. Zone Shipping Table Setup the rates in this field. For example: **5:5.00, 10:10.00, 10000:15.00**

**This would cause shipping rates to be:**

0-4.99lbs = $5.00

5-9.99lbs = $10.00

10lbs or more will be = $15.00

Zone 1 Handling Fee
If you want to charge a handling fee, enter the charge amount here.

Click the **Save** button, to record what you have done.
