ADP USA Logistics Inc., a Licensed Non-Vessel-Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) may tender cargo to other NVOCCs for co-loading at its option, risk and expense SBJ to the provisions named below. For the purposes of this Rule, "Co-Loading" is the combining of cargo, in the import or export foreign commerce of the United States, by 2 (two) or more NVOCCs for tendering to an Ocean Common Carrier under the name of 1 (one) or more NVOCCs. a. Under joint carrier-to-carrier co-loading agreements with other NVOCCs, Carrier may, at its option, tender all, or any portion, of a Shipper's cargo to such other NVOCC to provide all, or any portion, of the through transportation service to destination. Additionally Carrier reserves the right to tender cargo to other NVOCCs under a Shipper-to-Carrier relationship to accomplish all, or any portion, of the through transportation. b. It is understood that the tendering of cargo to, and when applicable the acceptance of a B/L issued by another NVOCC for co-loading, shall NOT increase, reduce, alter or otherwise remove Carrier's liability to the Shipper for the cargo as stated in Carrier's B/L issued at the time of shipment (See Rule 8), or when applicable as provided in Rule 12 (Ad Valorem). c. When Carrier tenders cargo to another NVOCC for co-loading, whether under a carrier-to-carrier agreement, or as a Shipper, the Carrier will place a notation reading substantially as specified below on the face of Carrier's B/L covering such co-loaded cargo. "ADP USA Logistics Inc. has tendered the cargo moving under this B/L to (Name of Receiving NVOCC) for co-loading service." (Receiving NVOCC may be identified only by its SCAC Code). d. 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 the transportation and handling of the cargo from origin to destination.
