Except as otherwise provided in individual TLIs (Rate
Items), Shipper MUST furnish, or arrange for the
preparation of, all documentation and information required
to export cargo from country of origin, to import cargo
into country of destination, and to transport cargo through
other countries between origin and destination. In
addition to all documentation, Shipper MUST describe cargo
in sufficient detail to permit Carrier to rate cargo, and
MUST at a minimum comply with the following:
a. SHIPMENTS EXPORTED FROM THE UNITED STATES: Description of
commodities shall be in general agreement on all copies of the B/L
and other Shipping Documents and MUST NOT be in conflict with
U.S. Export Declarations (AES, ISF and/or SED) or Consular Documents
covering the shipment. The Carrier shall have the right to verify
the B/L against any validated U.S. Export Declaration to insure
accuracy. Amendments or corrections in the commodity description
will be accepted ONLY if supported by a U.S. Export Declaration. If
shipments are NOT covered by a Shipper's Export Declaration, as
permitted by Export Control Regulations, Shippers MUST insert the
applicable commodity Schedule B number in the Line Copy of the B/L.
b. SHIPMENTS IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES: Description of commodities
shall be in general agreement on all copies of the B/L and other
Shipping Documents including U.S. Customs AMS declaration, and MUST
NOT be in conflict with Customs Declaration or Customs Entry and
Consular Documents. The Carrier shall have the right to verify the
B/L description with any shipping documents to insure accuracy.
Amendments or corrections in the commodity description will be
accepted ONLY if supported by a U.S. Customs Declaration, Customs
Entry, Consular Documents and other shipping documents.
c. Trade names are NOT acceptable commodity descriptions.
Shippers are required to declare their commodities by
their generally accepted generic or common name.
d. Unless otherwise specified, the value of cargo, which is
to be rated in accordance with a specific value-scale
provided in this Tariff, will be determined on the basis
of the value and net weight as declared in a validated
U.S. Export Declaration, Customs Declaration, Customs
Entry and/or Consular Documents. Where there is a
discrepancy between such documents, the highest
declaration shall be used to calculate freight and
additional charges.
