Filing Codes I

All shipments moving pursuant to and rated under the rules, regulations,
rates and charges named in this Tariff are predicated on Carrier's
liability NOT exceeding the limits specified in the Carrier's regular B/L
(see Rule 8) and/or the provisions named herein.
  
a. Overocean Service Liability: While cargo is in transport between POL and
   POD, Carrier's liability shall be determined in accordance with the
   clauses of the Carrier's regular B/L (See Rule 8).  Carrier will NOT
   accept, NOR be liable for, any liability greater than such limits.
  
b. Inland Service Liability: While cargo is in transport between U.S.
   Points of Origin or Destination and U.S. POL or POD as part of a through
   movement, the terms, conditions and liability of the underlying inland
   Carrier's Tariff or Contract of Carriage will apply.  Atlantic Express
   Corporation's liability will be limited to the same extent, in the same
   amounts and by the same conditions as published and enforced by the
   underlying inland U.S. Domestic Carrier.  Atlantic Express Corporation
   will NOT accept, NOR be liable for, any liability greater than the such
   limits.
  
c. Neither any oral declaration, nor any statement of value for
   governmental or Customs purposes, nor presentation of invoices for use
   in foreign Customs, nor collection of C.O.D. amounts or other purposes,
   nor the declaration of value for insurance, nor instructions to the
   Carrier to insure, shall be deemed a "declaration of value" as provided
   in paragraphs a. and b. above which would increase Carrier's stipulated
   liability, nor shall any such offering supplement or amend in any way
   the liability of the Carrier for the cargo at the time of shipment, on
   which charges for transportation services are based.
  
d. Regardless of the value declared by the Shipper, Carrier's liability
   will NOT exceed the actual value of the cargo or the actual damages
   sustained when less.
  
e. Where rates or charges are specified in this Tariff as applying on an Ad
   Valorem Basis, the value used in assessing freight charges shall be the
   invoice value shown on the Shipping Documents and B/L.
