Tariff reference to "W" and "M" signify 1,000 kilos and 1 cubic meter
respectively. Whenever freight charges are assessed on a W/M "weight or
measurement" basis or where rates are provided on both a "W" and "M"
basis, the freight charges will be computed on the gross weight or the
overall measurement of the pieces or packages, whichever computation
produces the greater revenue to the Carrier.
   
1. All packages will be measured in CENTIMETRES and weight in
   KILOGRAMMES.
  
2. Rounding off- Dimensions:
   Where parts of centimeter occur in dimensions, such parts below 0.5
   cm. are to be ignored, and those of 0.5 cm. And over are to be rounded
   off to the centimeter above. 
  
3. Calculating Cubic Measurements:
   The three dimensions in centimeters (rounded off in accordance with
   (2)) are to be multiplied together to produce the cube of one package
   or piece in cubic meters to six decimals. In case of a single package
   the decimals are to be rounded off at the second decimal, i.e., if the
   third decimal is below 5 the second decimal remains unaltered; if the
   third decimal is 5 or higher the second decimal is to be adjusted
   upwards.  In the case of multiple packages of like dimensions, the
   cube on one package to six decimals is to be multiplied by the number
   of packages and the total cube is then to be rounded off to two
   decimals under the foregoing procedure.
  
4. Official Measurers and Weighers:
   The straight loaded shipments of consolidator Cargo, stuffed at
   Carrier's nominated off dock CY locations, does not require
   measuring/weighing for purposes of confirming volume/weight of cargo.
   For such shipments, however, there must be a certificate from an
   officially appointed Sworn Measurer to confirm the exact location at
   which the shipment was stuffed into the container. 
  
5. Misdescription, Underweights and Undermeasurement:
  A. The carrier at loading port will assess freight on the shipments on
     the basis of the gross weights and/or measurements declared or
     deemed to have been declared by Shippers. Such assessment is subject
     to the terms and conditions of the carrier's Bill of Lading.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing Carrier may arrange at the port/point
     of destination for the verification of the description, measurement
     or weights of all such shipments as they, at their sole discretion,
     may decide and in all such cases the description, measurements or
     weights so obtained shall be used for determining the correct amount
     of freight which has to be paid and expense incurred should be for
     account of cargo. 
  
  B. If the gross weights and/or measurements declared by the Shippers
     are less than those ascertained and if the Shippers, by notification
     to the Carrier, within seven (7) days of the vessels sailing from
     port of loading or the consignees, by notification to the Carrier
     prior to the shipment leaving the custody of the Carrier, maintain
     that the gross weights and/or measurements stated by them are
     correct, freight shall be assessed provisionally on the controllers'
     figures and subsequently adjusted, if necessary, after an outturn
     reweighing and/or re-measuring. If such outturn re-weighting,
     remeasuring and/or resurveying shows that the gross weights,
     measurements and/or description were understated and/or mis-declared
     by the Shippers, re-measuring and/or resurveying shall be for the
     account of the cargo.
