| Filing Codes | IC |
When, at time of booking, a Shipper or his Agent requests that a
particular size transporting Container or type of equipment be made
available for Shipper to load, and due to operational exigencies, Carrier
is unable to provide or obtain such size Container or equipment, Carrier
at its option and convenience may, when available, furnish Shipper
with a different Container or equipment type and/or size than the one
requested for Shipper's use, SBJ to the following provisions and
restrictions.
a. Ocean freight and charges will be calculated and assessed based on the
type and size of the Container or equipment requested and booked by
the Shipper, PROVIDED, the Shipper does NOT load more cargo into or onto
the Container or equipment type actually furnished than could have been
loaded within or on the Container or equipment requested.
b. When cargo is tendered to the Carrier, Shipper must furnish a complete
packing list and/or a Shipper completed B/L showing the actual weight
and cubic measurements of all cargo loaded into or onto the Container or
equipment type furnished to the Shipper.
c. Carrier reserves the right to weigh, measure and/or inspect the cargo
loaded into or onto the Container or equipment type prior to the
commencement of transportation service. If Shipper or his Agent loads a
quantity of cargo in excess of the amount that can be loaded into or
onto the originally requested Container or equipment type and/or size,
ocean freight and changes will be assessed based on the rates in the
applicable NRA or on the applicable web rate page published in a Tariff
governed by this Tariff, or the size of the Container or equipment
actually furnished by the Carrier, instead of the size/type of the
Container or equipment requested.
d. Carrier's B/L and/or Invoice will be claused substantially as follows to
insure the proper application of an NRA or Tariff rate provision per
this Rule:
"CARRIER SUBSTITUTED EQUIPMENT - _____ (here specify type and
size of equipment originally requested) ORIGINALLY REQUESTED"
