   or assessments which have been established by custom of 
   the Port, by Port Operators or Authorities or by 
   national Customs Services (Except as otherwise provided 
   in Rules 1.2 and 1.4).  All such assessorial charges 
   assessed against the cargo will be for the account of 
   the Cargo, even if the Carrier is responsible for the 
   collection thereof.

     particular container or type of container or
     equipment, except as specified in individual TLIs of

   reason whatsoever and without notice, to transfer cargo
   in its possession from 1 (one) container to another, to
   transport cargo on more than 1 (one) vessel and/or to
   substitute 1 (one) mode of transportation for another at
   any point in, or for any portion of, the through
   transportation service provided by the Carrier.  Any

   carrier equipment for ocean carrier equipment during all
   or any part of the inland portion of a through
   intermodal transportation service provided under this
   Tariff.  Except as otherwise provided in individual TLIs
   (and then ONLY at Shipper's option) substitution of
   equipment will NOT affect the rates or charges assessed
   for transportation service, NOR shall it affect the
   Carrier's liability or responsibilities to the Shipper
   or Consignee.  Transfer, loading or other charges
   incurred for such substituted equipment service shall
   NOT be assessed against either the cargo, the Shipper or
   the Consignee, but shall be paid by the Carrier.

   restricted.
