You should always read the fare rules to find out all of the applicability information for a fare.

Because the reservation system couldn't determine what the surcharges were based solely on the fare rules. This happens when the surcharges are flight specific, aren't in the Surcharges section of the rules, or otherwise require pricing a specific itinerary to properly determine.
