1. CONSULAR AND/OR CUSTOMS DUTIES & FEES:
   
 a. The Shipper and Consignee shall be and will remain severally and
    jointly liable for all Consular and/or Customs Duties and/or Fees,
    along with all Customs Clearance Charges assessed upon the arrival
    of the cargo at destination or POD.  Cargo which cannot be cleared
    through Customs for any reason whatsoever, will be stored and/or
    warehoused by the Carrier at the risk and expense of the cargo,
    OR, returned to origin upon Shipper's instructions, OR, turned
    over to Customs Authorities without any further responsibility or
    liability on the part of the Carrier.
   
 b. Any damage, deterioration or loss of cargo, and any fine imposed
    by Customs Authorities or other legal authorities at destination,
    as a result of Shipper's, Consignee's or their authorized Agent's
    failure to comply with Customs or Consular regulations or
    requirements, or as a result of any errors or omissions in
    documentation or shipping information/instructions supplied to
    Carrier, shall be for the account of the cargo.
   
2. MARINE CARGO INSURANCE: Rates and charges named in this Tariff do NOT
   include Cargo Insurance. However, Deluxe Freight shall apply marine
   cargo insurance coverage to all of its customers    shipments in
   accordance with the terms and conditions of this Tariff and Deluxe
   Freight   s Bill of Lading, as specified in Deluxe's Open Policy, unless
   such coverage is declined prior to shipment in written shipping
   instructions (i.e. Shipper   s Letter of Instruction) or if a signed
   waiver form has been provided by customer at any time prior to a
   customer taking possession of its shipment at final destination. The
   premium cost for marine cargo insurance coverage shall be clearly
   itemized on the face of all Deluxe's Bills of Lading.
  
   Insurance premiums are calculated, in part, on invoice value of cargo.
   Should shipper not provide the invoice value of the cargo at the time of
   shipment, Carrier shall base the invoice value on an established
   calculation formula as determined by the commodity. Certain commodities
   are excluded from coverage and Carrier will not assess any Cargo
   Insurance Charges on shipments of such cargo. A copy of insurance rates,
   valuation formulas and exceptions can be obtained from the Carrier.

   and provisions of this policy are available to interested parties for
   inspection of the terms and conditions of coverage at Carrier   s facility
