accept such vehicles SBJ to the following provisions:
     
a. Carrier will NOT be responsible or liable, either
   directly or indirectly, for any damage resulting from
   the improper stowage, loading or mixing of articles in
   vehicles, nor for any discrepancy or shortage in the
   count thereof, nor for any concealed or hidden damage to
   the cargo.
     
b. All labor and materials, such as lashing, bulkheads,
   cross members, platforms, dunnage, pallets or other
   similar materials, used to block, brace or secure cargo
   in/on vehicle for safe transportation MUST be supplied
   by and at the expense of the Shipper or his Agent.
   Carrier will NOT be responsible for, and rates and
   charges named in this Tariff do NOT include, the return
   or exchange of such materials after use.  Materials
   used for securing, bracing, lashing, etc. (other than
   normal packaging or pallets) shall NOT be included in
   the overall weight or measurements of the cargo for the
   purposes of calculating freight or additional charges
   calculated on a weight or measurement basis.
     
c. Shipper MUST furnish Carrier with a complete list of all
   cargo in each vehicle, including a complete description
   of all articles in the vehicle and the approximate
   gross weight and overall cubic measurement of such cargo
   contents.  
     
d. Carrier reserves the right to open, inspect and/or to
   verify the contents of any vehicle with respect to
   description, weight and/or measurement.  When Carrier

   relocked and resealed, if an original seal was applied
   by Shipper, with Carrier's seal.  Where any error in

   shall be rebilled for any freight and/or additional
   assessorial charges due, which charge MUST be paid prior
   to release of Vehicle at destination.  Upon inspection
   of the Vehicle contents, if Carrier judges the packing
   or securing of cargo to be inadequate to protect cargo,
   vehicle and/or other vehicles during normal ocean
   transportation, the Carrier shall either refuse to
   transport the shipment or shall repack and resecure the
   cargo in the vehicle.  All repacking or resecuring
   expenses shall be for the account of the cargo.
     
e. Shippers placing locking and/or security devices on
   vehicles MUST assume full responsibility for getting the
   proper "key," "Code" or "disarming device" to the

   and additional charges named in this Rule when and ONLY
   when Shipper has obtained Carrier's prior approval, and
