2.1 Rates apply on either a per container or weight/measurement basis, or
per specifically described unit or lot, as specified in an individual
TRI. Except as provided in an individual TRI, whenever ocean freight
and assessorial charges are assessed on a weight/measurement basis,
same shall be assessed on the gross weight or the overall measurement
of the cargo, whichever computation produces the greater revenue to
the Carrier. As used in the context of weight/measurement rates,
references to "W" and "M" mean 1,000 kilos and 1 cubic meter,
respectively.
2.2 Rates are either "port," "ramp" or "door."

(i) Rates that are "port" at origin apply from the ocean terminal at
the port of loading.
(ii) Rates that are "ramp" at origin apply from the inland rail
carrier's ramp at the place of receipt of the cargo by Carrier.
(iii) Rates that are "door" at origin apply from the location at which
the container is stuffed and at which Carrier takes possession of
the cargo.
All transportation of cargo prior to the point at which Carrier's
rates begin to apply as set forth above shall be at the risk and
expense of Merchant.
(B) With respect to rates at destination:
(i) Rates that are "port" at destination apply to the ocean terminal
