   accepted ONLY if supported by U.S. Customs Declaration,
   Customs Entry, Consular Documents and other shipping
   documents.

   to be rated in accordance with a specific value-scale
   provided in this Tariff Section, will be determined on the
   basis of the value and net weight as declared in a validated
   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.
