AIF LAX, Inc. d/b/a Advanced International Freight, 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.
"AIF LAX, Inc. d/b/a Advanced International Freight 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.
