Filing Codes C

Upon the written request of a Shipper or Consignee, and when Carrier
confirms terminal space is available, Carrier will provide a Buyer's
Consolidation Service by bringing together and consolidating 2 (two)
or more individual shipments of cargo for forwarding to 1 (one)
Consignee, at 1 (one) time, in 1 (one) or more containers, destined to
1 (one) location, SBJ to the following terms and conditions:
   
a. Shipments or part shipment(s), lot(s) or unit(s) will NOT be accepted
   at 1 (one) terminal for consolidation with cargo at another terminal.
   However, upon request, Carrier will arrange for the transportation of
   cargo from external points or terminals to the Consolidation Terminal
   SBJ to the additional charges applicable for such movement (which
   charge is outside the scope of the Carrier's House B/L).
       
b. Carrier does NOT hold itself out to load by specific commodity, mark,
   or to perform any pre-sort or segregation of cargo prior to shipment.
   Disposition of each shipment will be in strict accordance with the
   instructions furnished by the party requesting the Buyer's
   Consolidation Service.
    
c.1. Carrier will load ONLY those shipments into a consolidated container
     for which Carrier has received at consolidation origin both the cargo
     and all requisite documentation, including AMS, AES or ISF
     documentation, at least 72 hours prior to scheduled vessel departure
     on which the consolidated container has been booked.
    
  2. When any shipment, and/or its accompanying documentation, that is
     identified for movement in a consolidated container, is NOT received
     within the time period specified in paragraph c.1. above, Carrier
     will hold such shipment for inclusion in the next consolidated
     container movement.  If for any reason, such as incomplete
     documentation, Shipper's instructions to hold, or for any other cause
     beyond the control of the Carrier, a shipment cannot be forwarded
     in the next scheduled consolidated container, all cargo so held at
     terminal will be SBJ to all charges applicable for storage, handling,
     and/or cargo shifting, which charge shall be in addition to all other
     applicable charges.
     
d. Carrier will NOT provide Buyer's Consolidation Service on any shipment
   on which it has performed Seller's Consolidation Service (see Rule
   23.203).
     
e. Nothing in this Rule shall be constued as establishing joint thru
   rates with any other Carrier or mode of transportation.  When Carrier
   is not provided with any specific instructions for pre-carriage or
   on-carriage transportation prior to the B/L Origin or beyond the B/L
   Destination, Carrier will be free to select any inland Carrier that
   will provide pickup transportation or transportation to ultimate
   destination.
     
f. GOVERNING PROVISIONS & CALCULATION OF FREIGHT CHARGES ON BUYER'S
    CONSOLIDATED CONTAINERS:
   Multiple shipments, moving on separate Carrier House B/Ls, destined to
   a single Buyer (Consignee), which are transported in a single
   container SBJ to the terms and conditions named in this Rule, will be
   assessed freight and charges for each individual shipment in the
   consolidated container based on a prorated portion of the applicable
   full consolidated containerload rate and will be SBJ to the following
   requirements and will be calculated as follows:
     
  1. All shipments in the consolidated container must have the same
     Consignee listed in each and every individual Carrier House B/L.
     
  2. The applicable rate for each shipment in the consolidated container
     will be calculated as specified below in paragraph 3.  Alternatively,
     if the freight and charges on ALL the shipments in a consolidated
     container are to be paid by a single party, then upon request of the
     single payer party, Carrier will assess all the applicable freight
     and charges for the consolidated containerload on a single Carrier
     House B/L covering one of the shipments in the consolidated container
     while the remainder of the shipments in the consolidated container
     will be rated at 0.00 (zero) with each zero rated House B/L
     referencing the Carrier House B/L on which freight and charges have
     been assessed.
       
  3. Pro-Rated Freight and Charges for each individual shipment within a
     consolidated container shall be calculated as follows:
     
   A. Determine the total freight and charges (basic ocean or through
      freight plus all applicable assessorial charges) applicable for the
      FCL container movement.
     
   B. Determine each shipment's payment status.  If all the shipments in
      the consolidated container are collect, the prorated freight and
      charges shall be as determined in paragraph f.3.C., if some of the
      shipments in the consolidated container are collect and some are
      prepaid, the prorated freight and charges shall be as determined in
      paragraph f.3.D.
   
   C. If all shipments are collect:
     I. First determine each shipment's prorated cubic measurement portion
        of the total measurement of the entire containerload volume (i.e.
        if the total containerload volume is 25 cbm and one shipment is 5
        cbm, that shipment's prorated portion is 20% [twenty percent] of
        the shipment), rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
   
    II. Second determine each shipment's prorated weight portion of the
        total tare weight of the entire containerload (i.e. if total
        containerload tare weight is 10,000 kilos and one shipment is
        1,000 kilos, that shipment's prorated portion is 10% [ten percent]
        of the shipment), rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
     
   III. Multiply the applicable total freight and charges determined in
        paragraph f.3.A. above by each shipment's prorated portion as
        determined in paragraph f.3.C.I. above.  Additionally, multiply
        the applicable total freight and charges determined in paragraph
        f.3.A. above by each shipment's prorated portion as determined in
        paragraph f.3.C.II, above.  Comparing the results of the two
        calculations, the prorated freight and charges to be used for each
        shipment in the consolidated container shall be whichever is most
        advantageous to the largest number of shipments in the
        consolidated container.  Fractions of a cent will be disposed of
        as follows: fractions of less than 1/2 cent will be dropped and
        fractions of 1/2 cent or more will be increased to the next whole
        cent.
    
   D. If some shipments are collect and some are prepaid:
     I. Determine each shipment's prorated cubic measurement portion of
        the total measurement of the entire containerload volume (i.e. if
        the total containerload volume is 25 cbm and one shipment is 5
        cbm, that shipment's prorated portion is 20% [twenty percent] of
        the shipment), rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.
     
    II. Multiply the applicable total freight charges determined in
        paragraph f.3.A. above by each shipment's prorated portion as
        determined in paragraph 3.B. above.  Fractions of a cent will be
        disposed of as follows:  fractions of less than 1/2 cent will be
        dropped and fractions of 1/2 cent or more will be increased to the
        next whole cent.
     
   E. Add all the prorated portions as determined in paragraph f.3.C. or
      f.3.D. together.  If the total exceeds (because of rounding) the
      total freight charges determined in paragraph f.3.A. above, subtract
      the overage amount from the freight charges applicable to the
      smallest shipment in the consolidated containerload.  If the total
      is less (because of rounding) than the total freight charges
      determined in paragraph f.3.A. above, add the deficit amount to the
      freight charges applicable to the largest shipment in the
      consolidated containerload.
     
   F. EXAMPLE:
         Applicable FCL container Rate Is = $ 4000.00
         Applicable BAF Charge Is         = $  400.00
         Total Freight & Charges Are      = $ 4400.00
         Total Measurement Of Cargo In consolidated Container Is = 30 cbm
     
      TOTAL MEASUREMENT ] PRORATED MEASUREMENT [  TOTAL FREIGHT
      OF EACH SHIPMENT  ]   PORTION OF TOTAL   [ CHARGES OF EACH
        IN CONTAINER    ]    CONTAINERLOAD     [     SHIPMENT
      ------------------]----------------------[----------------
       No. 1 =  3 cbm   ]      10 %            [   $  440.00
       No. 2 = 10 cbm   ]      33.33 %         [     1466.52
       No. 3 =  9 cbm   ]      30 %            [     1320.00
       No. 4 =  8 cbm   ]      26.67 %         [     1173.48
      ------------------]----------------------[----------------
      TOTALS   30 cbm   ]      100 %           [     4400.00
