a. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Rules of this Tariff
   or in an individual NRA, NSA or Rate TLI named in any Tariff governed

   named in any Tariff governed by this Tariff applying from, to or
   through the U.S. or foreign Ports named in Rules 1.1 and 1.3 do NOT
   include lighterage, terminal handling, wharfage, taxes, duties, dues,
   customs charges or any other assessorial charges or assessments which
   have been established by custom of the Port, by Port Operators or
   Authorities or by national Customs Services (Except as otherwise
   provided in Rules 1.2 and 1.4).  All such assessorial charges
   assessed against the cargo will be for the account of the Cargo, even
   if the Carrier is responsible for the collection thereof.
     
b. Carrier is NOT obligated to transport cargo in any particular
   container or type of container or equipment (except as specified in
   an individual NRA, NSA or Rate TLI named in any Tariff governed by
   this Tariff, or in conformity with Rule 16), or via any particular
   vessel, ocean, water, rail, motor or air carrier, or in time for any
   particular market or otherwise than with reasonable dispatch and due
   diligence.  Except as otherwise provided in an individual NRA, NSA or
   Rate TLI named in any Tariff governed by this Tariff, selection of any
   underlying or inland carrier to be used for any portion of the
   through transportation of cargo shall be at the sole discretion of
   the Carrier.
     
c.1. Carrier reserves the right to load and transport any single
     shipment in more than 1 (one) container when required by
     governmental regulations, for operation exigencies or for any
     other reason whatsoever.  Additionally Carrier reserves the
     right to effect whatever splitting or consolidation of cargo it
     deems most advantageous in order to make the most efficient use of
     transporting equipment.  Further Carrier expressly reserves the
     right at its sole discretion, for any reason whatsoever and
     without notice, to transfer cargo in its possession from 1 (one)
     container to another, to transship cargo from 1 (one) vessel to
     another and/or to substitute 1 (one) mode of transportation for
     another at any point in, or for any portion of, the through
     transportation service provided by the Carrier.  Any such
     transfers, transshipments, movements or substitutions of service
     shall be deemed to be within the contract of affreightment and
     shall NOT be considered a deviation therefrom.
   
  2. When Carrier provides loading Services of full containerload
     shipments at its nominated Container Freight Station facilities
     (i.e. "S" Service at origin - see Rule 2.1), Carrier reserves the
     right to utilize any and all remaining empty space in the container
     for other cargo after all Shipper's cargo has been loaded therein.
     Carrier shall remove all extra Cargo from the container at
     destination before the shipment is delivered to the Consignee.
    
d. Carrier reserves the right to substitute rail or motor carrier
   equipment for ocean carrier equipment during all or any part of the
   inland portion of a through intermodal transportation service
   provided under any NRA, NSA or Rate TLI named in any Tariff governed
   by this Tariff.  Except as otherwise provided in an individual NRA,
   NSA or Rate TLI named in any Tariff governed by this Tariff (and then
   ONLY at Shipper's option) substitution of equipment will NOT affect
   the rates or charges assessed for transportation service, NOR shall
   it affect the Carrier's liability or responsibilities to the Shipper
   or Consignee.  Transfer, loading or other charges incurred for such
   substituted equipment service shall NOT be assessed against either
   the cargo, the Shipper or the Consignee, but shall be paid by the
   Carrier.
     
e. Except when advertising matter and premiums are shipped in the same
   package with the commodity it advertises, any package containing
   more than 1 (one) commodity will be rated on the basis of the
   highest rated article in the package.
     
f. Rates named in an individual NRA, NSA or Rate TLI named in any Tariff
   governed by this Tariff apply ONLY to the specific commodity(s) named
   and CANNOT be applied to analogous commodities.  Further, unless a
   rate application specifically names a particular commodity, the Tariff
   Generic, N.O.S. or Cargo, N.O.S. rate named in any Tariff governed
   by this Tariff will apply.
     
g. The rates named in each NRA, NSA or each specific Rate TLI named in
   any Tariff governed by this Tariff apply on straight or mixed
   shipments of the commodities named therein unless otherwise
   specifically restricted.  When mixed shipments contain commodities
   subject to rates named in more than 1 (one) NRA, NSA or Rate TLI, the
   separate rate applicable for each commodity will be assessed, subject
   to the highest minimum quantity provided for any commodity in the
   shipment.
     
h. When mixed shipments contain commodities subject to rates named in
   more than 1 (one) effective NRA, NSA or Rate TLI named in any Tariff
   governed by this Tariff, the separate rate applicable for each
   commodity will be assessed, subject to the highest minimum quantity
   provided for any commodity in the shipment.
     
i. Whenever a rate is provided for a specific commodity, the same rate
   will also apply on parts of such a commodity where so described in
   the B/L, EXCEPT and unless a specific rate is provided for such parts
   in an applicable NRA, NSA or Rate TLI named in any Tariff governed by
   this Tariff.
    
j. The rates named in any NRA, NSA or Rate TLI governed by this Tariff,
   except where predicated on a specifically lower or higher value or
   when predicated on an Ad Valorem Basis, are SBJ to the B/L liability
   limit specified in Rule 8.
