When a specific method, type or size of packing or
packaging is specified in an individual TLI (Rate Item)
named in this Tariff, such rate will ONLY apply on
Shipments of the commodity so packed or packaged.
Additionally, all shipments will be SBJ 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 judgment 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. If Carrier elects to
accept cargo tendered for shipment loose or not packaged
or crated, Carrier, at its option will either package or
crate cargo to provide protection during through
transportation, or will accept such cargo SBJ to
paragraph c.1 herein. When Carrier elects to provide
packaging or crating, all charges for packaging and/or
construction of crates will be for the account of the
cargo. Additionally, when Carrier packages or crates
cargo for transport, freight charges shall be calculated
on the gross weight of the cargo and packaging or the
overall dimensions of the package(s) as specified in
Rule 2.2.
b. Except on FCL shipments subject to Rule 2.23 ("Shipper
Load, Stow and Count"), shipments of Lumber and shipments
of Cotton, baled, 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. 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. SPECIAL PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS:
1. 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.
2. Vehicles, new or used, not in containers, will be
received and accepted for transportation without
boxing, crating, wrapping or other packaging. Further
Carrier, Ship Owner, Stevedore and/or Terminal Operator
will NOT perform or provide technical inspection and/or
check of Vehicle's inside or outside equipment and/or
accessories. Therefore, Carrier, Ship Owner, Stevedore
and/or Terminal Operator will neither be liable for,
nor responsible for, any loss, damage or non-operation
of any Vehicle's equipment and/or accessories unless
such loss or damage is directly due to the negligence
or because of the actions of Carrier, Ship Owner,
Stevedore or Terminal Operator. Additionally, Carrier,
Ship Owner, Stevedore and Terminal Operator will not be
liable for loss and/or damage to any loose articles or
cargo left in or packed inside Vehicle at the time
vehicle is tendered for transportation. Shipper must
separately tender such loose articles or cargo as a
separate shipment which will be transported on a
separate B/L from the B/L covering the Vehicle.
3. Articles of glass, crockery or contained in glass or
crockery as well as all other fragile articles MUST be
packed in such a manner as to protect cargo against any
and all damage which may occur during normal handling and
transportation, and MUST be clearly marked to indicate to
the Carrier the true nature of the cargo. Regardless of
any other provisions named in this Tariff, all cargo of
glass, crockery or any other fragile articles will be
accepted at Carrier's option ONLY, and once accepted
shall be handled and transported at cargo owner's risk of
breakage.
