Freight charges, assessorial charges, surcharges or other charges named
in this Tariff including advanced charges may be prepaid or collect (See
Note 1) at origin or destination, SBJ to the provisions named in this
Rule.  However, regardless of whether B/L payment status is prepaid or
collect, the Shipper, his duly authorized Freight Forwarder or Agent,
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.
   
NOTE 1: Shipments of the following commodities MUST be PREPAID prior to
          transportation service in all instances unless credit has been
          extended to Consignee as provided herein:
         Household Goods
         Personal Effects
         Vehicles 
   
a. Full Freight and additional Charges named 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. Rates and Charges named in this Tariff are quoted in U.S. Currency,
   unless otherwise noted, 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, Carrier reserves the right, upon
   publication in this Tariff, to adjust the rates and charges named in
   this Tariff 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 and other Charges named in this Tariff are paid in
   foreign currency, Carrier will accept payment in such 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 a 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. STANDARD CREDIT PROVISIONS:
   
  1. 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 15 (Fifteen) 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.
    
  2. 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.
    
f. PRE-APPROVED CREDIT FOR PERIOD BEYOND STANDARD CREDIT PERIOD: 
   
  1. Carrier will consider extending credit for a period in excess of
     15 days upon formal application by Shipper for such extension.
     Shipper's application must include reason for request, the credit
     time period requested and sufficient information to allow Carrier
     to evaluate the request.  Once approved, payment of lawful freight
     and charges will be due within the credit period agreed to; credit
     period shall begin from the date of Carrier's invoice.
    
  2. 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.
    
g. If any party responsible for the payment of charges, to whom Carrier
   has extended credit privileges, fails to pay the full amount of
   lawful freight and/or other charges due as specified herein within
   the credit period allowed by Carrier, the Carrier shall assess a
   charge equal to 3% (three percent) of the unpaid amounts on the date
   credit period has expired.  Additionally each 30 day period such
   charges remain unpaid in full after the expiration of the credit
   period Carrier will assess an additional 3% (three percent) of the
   unpaid amounts until all charges are paid in full, which charge shall
   be in addition to all other applicable charges.
   
h. If any party responsible for the payment of charges ultimately 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.
