Filing Codes C

UPS, a non-vessel-operating common carrier (NVOCC) may
tender cargo to other NVOCCs (a Receiving NVOCC) for
co-loading at its option, risk and expense, SBJ to the
provisions named below.  For the purposes of this Rule,
"Co-Loading" is defined as the combining of cargo, in the
import or export foreign commerce of the United States, by
2 (two) or more NVOCCs for tendering to a Vessel Operating
Ocean Common Carrier (VOCC) under the name of 1 (one) or
more of the NVOCCs.
    
a. Carrier has entered into joint carrier-to-carrier
   co-loading agreements with other NVOCCs.  Carrier
   reserves the right, at its option, to tender all, or any
   portion, of a Shipper's cargo to such other NVOCC who
   will then provide all, or any portion, of the through
   transportation service to destination.
  
b. Carrier reserves the right, at its option, to tender
   cargo to another NVOCC under a Shipper-to-Carrier
   relationship to accomplish all, or any portion, of the
   through transportation service to destination.
    
c. It is understood and agreed that when Carrier tenders
   cargo to, and when applicable accepts a B/L issued by, a
   receiving NVOCC for co-loaded cargo, such action shall
   NOT increase, reduce, alter or otherwise remove Carrier's
   liability to the Shipper for cargo tendered to Carrier. 
   Carrier's liability shall be and shall remain as stated
   in Carrier's B/L issued at the time of shipment (See
   Rule 8), or at Shipper's option as provided in Rule 12
   (Ad Valorem).
    
d. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for
   co-loading, whether under a Carrier-to-Carrier agreement,
   or as a Shipper, the Carrier's B/L will indicate in a
   clear and legible manner that the Shipment has been
   co-loaded with a receiving NVOCC.  At Carrier's option,
   Carrier may identify such receiving NVOCC by its
   Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) as indicated in the
   Directory of Standard Carrier Alpha Codes, NMF 101
   (including reissues thereof), issued by the National
   Motor Freight Traffic Association, Inc. The exercising
   of its option to utilize co-loading service does NOT
   alter or relieve Carrier of any responsibility for the
   payment of all underlying Carrier or receiving NVOCC
   rates and charges assessed for any portion of the
   through transportation service and/or handling of the
   cargo from origin to destination.
