Except as otherwise provided on individual Web Rate Pages (TLIs), 
Shipper MUST furnish, or arrange for the preparation of, all
documentation and information required to export cargo from
country of origin, to import cargo into country of destination,
and to transport cargo through other countries between origin and
destination.  In addition to all documentation, Shipper MUST
describe cargo in sufficient detail to permit Carrier to rate
cargo, and MUST at a minimum comply with the following:
  
a. SHIPMENTS EXPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES: Description of
   commodities shall be in general agreement on all copies of the B/L
   and other Shipping Documents and MUST NOT be in conflict with
   U.S. Export Declarations (AES, ISF and/or SED) or Consular Documents
   covering the shipment.  The Carrier shall have the right to verify
   the B/L against any validated U.S. Export Declaration to insure
   accuracy.  Amendments or corrections in the commodity description
   will be accepted ONLY if supported by a U.S. Export Declaration.  If
   shipments are NOT covered by a Shipper's Export Declaration, as
   permitted by Export Control Regulations, Shippers MUST insert the
   applicable commodity Schedule B number in the Line Copy of the B/L.
     
b. Trade or Commercial Product names are NOT acceptable
   commodity descriptions.  Shippers are required to
   declare their commodities by their generally accepted
   generic or common name.
     
c. Unless otherwise specified, the value of cargo, which is
   to be rated in accordance with a specific value-scale
   provided in this Tariff, will be determined on the basis
   of the value and net weight as declared in a validated
   U.S. Export Declaration, Customs Declaration, Customs
   Entry and/or Consular Documents.  Where there is a
   discrepancy between such documents, the highest
   declaration shall be used to calculate freight and
   additional charges.
      
d. When specifically provided on individual Web Rate Pages (TLIs),
   all Export Shipments to the Foreign Ports and Points named
   in such TLI are SBJ to the Doumentation Handling/Bill Of Lading

   Lading is required, or a correction and/or amendment is requested
   by a Shipper, Consignee or their Agent, Carrier will make the
