For service levels this would be:

DespatchAdvice.ActualShipment.PriorityLevelCode

- identifies the priority or level of service required for a shipment.

For scope of reponsibility (eg.  CIF, FOB, or EXW from the INCOTERMS 
Terms of Deliver) this would be:

DespatchAdvice.DespatchLine.DeliveryTerms.SpecialTerms

Shipment.TransportContract simply identifies the contract.  this would 
determine who pays what.  For more details we would need to define the 
payment terms for shipment.  Perhaps this is a UBL 1.1 requirement?

This has already been identified as a requirement for UBL 1.1
