Filing Codes IC

Except as otherwise provided on individual Web Rate Pages (TLIs), a
shipment, which for any reason, is refused or rejected by the
Consignee at destination, or which cannot be delivered despite
Carrier's diligent efforts for reasons not ascribable to the
Carrier within 5 (five) business days of notification to Consignee
that the shipment has arrived and is ready for delivery, will be
considered "refused" or "unclaimed" and will be SBJ to the following
provisions.
     
a. If, after the expiration of any Free Time specified, delivery of
   shipment to Consignee is ultimately accomplished, all third party
   warehouse, storage and/or redelivery cartage charges (when
   applicable) which have been incurred and/or advanced by the
   Carrier will be assessed and collected from the Consignee,
   regardless of whether the shipment was prepaid or collect, unless
   Shipper shall otherwise claim responsibility for such charges in
   writing.
     
b. In all cases of refused or unclaimed shipments, Carrier
   will immediately notify Shipper of such status by
   telephone, facsimile, telex or other electronic means
   and request instructions for the disposition of the
   shipment.
     
c. If Carrier does NOT receive instructions for the disposition of
   shipment from Shipper within any Free Time specified, Carrier
   reserves the right to transfer the refused or unclaimed cargo
   to a public storage.  All third party charges incurred and
   assessed as a result of such action, including but not limited
   to, storage, transfer, terminal, cartage or customs charges will
   be for the account of cargo.  Once placed in a public storage
   facility, Carrier's liability will terminate and a lien for all
   unpaid freight and additional charges shall be placed upon the
   cargo for Carrier's account.
     
d. Notice of arrival of shipment at B/L destination as
   described in this Rule shall be given to Consignee by
   telephone, facsimile or telex when possible or by
   deposit of letter or post card, properly addressed to
   Consignee, with the United States or Foreign Postal
   Service.
