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.

         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.

       rates begin to apply as set forth above shall be at the risk and
       expense of Merchant.
