   of the commodities named therein unless otherwise specifically
   restricted.

   more than 1 (one) Rate Tariff TLI 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.  This provision does NOT apply to rates named in NRAs.
     
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 the applicable NRA, NSA or in a Rate Tariff TLI, governed by this
   Tariff.
