Freight charges, assessorial charges, surcharges or other charges named in
this Tariff incuding on any Web Rate Page in this Tariff, including
advanced charges, may be prepaid or collect (see NOTE 1) at origin or
destination, SBJ to the provisions named herein.  However, regardless of
whether B/L payment status is prepaid or collect, the Shipper, his duly
authorized Freight Forwarder, Broker, the Consignee and the Beneficial
Cargo Owner shall be, and will remain, jointly and severally liable for all
unpaid charges and freight, including but not limited to, any sums advanced
or disbursed by the Carrier for the account of the cargo.  Further any
payment of freight or other charges to a freight forwarder, broker or any
other party other than directly to Carrier shall be not deemed payment to
the Carrier, unless and until such payment has been advanced to Carrier.
  
NOTE 1: Shipments of the following commodities MUST be PREPAID in all
 instances:  Household Goods and Personal Effects.
  
a. All Freight and additional Charges provided in this Tariff, including
   on a Web Rate Page in this Tariff, are due and considered earned upon
   receipt of the cargo by the originating Carrier, or his agent, and shall
   be paid to the Carrier without discount or deduction, whether the Ship
   and/or Cargo is lost or not lost, transportation is interrupted or
   abandoned, whether the Cargo is damaged or ruined, or whether packages
   or Containers are delivered empty or partly empty at destination.
  
b. Except as otherwise specifically indicated, Rates and Charges named in
   this Tariff are quoted in U.S. Currency, and have been determined with
   due consideration to the relationship of U.S. Currency to any other
   currencies involved.  In the event of any material deterioration in the
   exchange value of U.S. Currency, the Carrier reserves the right, upon
   publication in this Tariff to adjust the rates or charges named in this
   Tariff, to change the rates or charges named therein to remove any
   adverse effect in conformity with the U.S. Shipping Act of 1984, as
   amended, and SBJ to the regulations of the Federal Maritime Commission
   issued pursuant thereto.
  
c. When Freight rates and other Charges named in this Tariff are paid
   in foreign countries, Carrier will accept payment in a foreign
   currency provided it is freely convertible.  When payment is effected
   in other than U.S. Currency, currency conversion shall be calculated
   on the basis of the highest official bank selling rate of exchange as
   quoted on the official exchange for the currency involved on the day
   shipment is tendered to the originating Carrier.
   
d. The payment status of any B/L may NOT be changed or altered once
   transportation service of Cargo has commenced (e.g. "prepaid"
   shipments cannot be changed to "collect" shipments and likewise
   "collect" shipments cannot be changed to "prepaid" shipments)
   without the express approval of the Carrier.
   
e. Carrier or its duly authorized Agent, will, upon request of the
   Shipper, Freight Forwarder, Consignee or Beneficial Cargo Owner,
   extend credit to the party listed in the B/L as responsible for the
   payment of Freight and Charges, in amounts not to exceed Freight,
   Assessorials, Terminal and/or Advanced Charges.  The credit period
   shall be 30 (thirty) days from the date of delivery of Cargo in the
   case of collect shipments or from the date Cargo is tendered to
   originating Carrier in the case of prepaid shipments.
   
   If Freight or other Charges are NOT paid within the credit period
   specified herein, the Carrier will cancel the delinquent party's
   credit privileges after which time ALL Freight and Assessorial
   Charges applying on shipments moving for the account of such party
   MUST be paid in cash, cashier's check or money order at the time, or
   prior to the time, Cargo is tendered to originating Carrier for
   transportation.
   
   If any party responsible for the payment of charges fails or refuses
   to pay lawful Freight and/or other Charges due as specified above,
   the Carrier shall be entitled to recover all collection costs
   incurred, including but not limited to, reasonable collection agency
   fees, attorneys' fees and court costs.
