Except as otherwise provided in individual Tariff Rules
or TLIs, rates and charges named in this Tariff are stated
in U.S. Currency and apply per weight unit, per measurement
unit, per container or lumpsum per shipment as specified.
Calculation of freight and additional charges will be based
upon the applicable rate, times the number of units
tendered for transportation, subject to the provisions
named below.
  
a. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a weight unit
    basis ("W" or "W-ton") apply per weight unit of 1000
    kilos.
  
   i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject
      to rates or charges stated on a weight unit basis
      will be computed on the gross weight of the cargo
      PLUS the weight of all packing materials, pallets or
      shipping containers (exclusive of the weight of the
      ocean container) established at the time cargo is
      tendered for transportation at origin.
  
  ii. Carrier reserves the right to weigh or reweigh, on
      certified scales, any cargo tendered for shipment.
      Any weight so ascertained by the Carrier shall be
      deemed paramount and shall be used to compute freight
      and additional charges regardless of any other
      weight, certified or otherwise, declared or provided
      by the Shipper or his agent.  Shipper may however at
      his own expense, seek independent certification of
      the accuracy of any scales utilized by the Carrier.
  
 b. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a measurement
    unit basis ("M" or "M-ton") apply per measurement unit
    or 1 cbm.
  
   i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject
      to rates or charges stated on a measurement unit
      basis will be computed on the overall measurement of
      each piece, package or unit in the shipment.  The
      cubical content of each piece, package or other unit
      shall be the extreme dimensions of the length, width
      and height of such piece, package or unit with
      fractional centimeters being disposed of as provided
      in paragraph ii. below.  When calculating freight
      charges on B/Ls the total measurement for each rate
      shall be rounded off the nearest 1/1000th (one
      one-thousandth) cubic meter.
  
  ii. Before any other calculations are made all fractional
      centimeter or inch dimensions will be disposed of as
      follows:
  
     1. All fractions of less than one-half centimeter
        shall be dropped.
  
     2. All fractions of one-half centimeter or more
        shall be rounded up to the next full
        centimeter.
  
 iii. Except as provided below under the exceptions, when
      calculating freight and additional charges of any
      irregular or unusually shaped piece, package or unit,
      the 3 (three) greatest dimensions shall be used as
      the rating measurements.  When calculating freight
      and additional charges of Barrels, Casks, Kegs, Drums
      or other cylindrical shipping units, measurements
      shall be taken on the square of the bilge.
    
  iv. Whenever an individual piece, package or other
      shipping unit is tendered for transportation and it
      is requested by Shipper, or is necessary because of
      the nature of the cargo or its packaging, that no
      cargo be stowed on top of same, Carrier will use the
      maximum inside height dimension of the transporting
      container as the height of the cargo when calculating
      the freight or assessorial charges.
  
 c. Rates and/or additional charges stated on an
    alternating weight unit or measurement unit apply per
    the weight or measurement unit, defined in Rule 2.2, 
    paragraphs a. or b above, whichever produces the
    greatest revenue to the Carrier.
  
 d. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a per
    container basis ("PC") apply per single container by
    capacity and type as defined below:
