When Carrier publishes a rate in a Tariff Rate section
applying to a specific size container or piece of equipment
and/or when Shipper requests that a particular size
container or piece of equipment be made available for
transportation service, and due to operational exigencies
or unavailability of equipment, the Carrier is unable to
furnish the proper size container or piece of equipment,
Carrier may, at its option, transport cargo in, or furnish
Shipper with, a container or piece of equipment larger than
the size on which the rate is quoted and/or requested by
the Shipper, SBJ to the following conditions:
        
a. Freight charges will be calculated and assessed based on
   the container or equipment size quoted and/or requested,
   PROVIDED, the Shipper does NOT load more cargo into or
   onto the container or equipment actually furnished than
   an amount equal to 85% of the total inside capacity of
   the smaller container quoted and/or requested.  When
   calculating the amount of cargo specified herein, the
   total inside cubic capacity of each container size will
   be:
    
       20 ft. container, 8'6" high         = 33.39 CBM
       40 ft. container, 8'6" high         = 67.75 CBM
       40 ft. hi-cube container, 9'6" high = 76.40 CBM
       45 ft. hi-cube container, 9'6" high = 86.37 CBM
     
   If Shipper loads more into/on the container or equipment
   than the amount of cargo specified above, freight
   charges will be calculated and assessed based on the
   container or equipment size provided.
       
b. When cargo is loaded into container or equipment by
   Shipper or his agent, Shipper MUST furnish a complete
   packing list and/or B/L showing actual weight and
   measurement of cargo loaded into, or onto, container or
   transporting equipment.
