When a specific method, type or size of packing or
packaging is specified in an individual TLI (Rate Item)
named this Tariff, such rate will ONLY apply on shipments
of the commodity so packed or packaged.  Additionally, all
shipments will be SUBJECT to the following packing and
marking provisions:
    
a. All shipments tendered to Carrier for transportation
   MUST be packed in a manner that will insure safe
   transportation with ordinary care and due diligence on
   the part of the Carrier.  Such packing shall at least
   meet the standards set for shipping within the
   boundaries of the United States, and shall at least be,
   in the sole judgement of the Carrier, adequate to
   protect the cargo from damage during ordinary handling
   and ocean transportation.  Carrier will assume no
   liability for any damage to cargo caused by negligent,
   improper or inadequate packing or packaging.
    
b. Except on FCL shipments subject to Rule 2.23 
   ("Shipper Load, Stow and Count") each individual piece, 
   package, carton, bundle or unit included in a shipment 
   MUST bear: Marks and Numbers, Place of Destination and 
   Origin (including country), and the Name and Address of 
   the Consignee, Shipper and notify party.  All marks must
   coincide with those on the Shipping Documents and, if
   necessary, corrections must be made by the Shipper or
   his representative.  All Old marks must be removed or
   effaced to prevent any confusion in transit.  In the
   case of a shipment moving on an "Order Notify" B/L, or
   which is consigned "C.O.D.," each piece, package,
   carton, bundle or unit MUST also be marked accordingly.
   The Carrier will NOT be responsible for Shipper's
   failure to observe the marking regulations of the
   destination country, NOR for the accuracy of Shipper
   furnished labels and/or information used to prepare such
   labels.
    
c. Any single article, which, by its nature, may be shipped
   without danger of damage in ordinary handling while
   lacking boxing, crating or wrapping will be accepted as
   suitably packed for transportation when tendered to the
   Carrier without boxing, crating, wrapping or other
   packaging.
    
e. All cargo tendered to the Carrier, which in the opinion 
   of the Carrier, is improperly, inadequately or 
   insufficiently packaged to insure safe transportation, 
   will NOT be transported.  However, if the Shipper 
   explicitly directs the Carrier to transport such cargo 
   inspite of the deficient packaging, transportation will 
   be provided ONLY at the Shipper's risk of breakage and 
   damage and ONLY when a notation reading substantially as 
   follows is placed and executed on the B/L:
    
    "Unprotected or insufficiently packed or protected
     cargo accepted at Shipper's/Owner's risk of breakage
     or damage."
      
      _____________________      _____________________
            (Carrier)                  (Shipper)
    
   Notwithstanding any provision published above, no 
   provision published in this Rule shall be construed as 
   relieving the Carrier from its full liability for loss 
   and/or damage (See Rule 8) resulting from the negligence 
   of the Carrier.
