Except as otherwise provided in individual Tariff Rules,
Rate Items or TLIs, rates and charges named in this Tariff
are stated in U.S. Currency and apply per weight unit, per
measurement unit, per container or lumpsum per shipment as
specified. Calculation of freight and additional charges
will be based upon the applicable rate, times the number of
units tendered for transportation, subject to the
provisions named below.
a. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a weight unit
basis ("W" or "W-ton") apply per ton of 1000 kilos.
i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject
to rates or charges stated on a weight unit basis
will be computed on the gross weight of the cargo
PLUS the weight of all packing materials, pallets or
shipping containers (exclusive of the weight of the
ocean container) established at the time cargo is
tendered for transportation at origin.
ii. Carrier reserves the right to weigh or reweigh, on
certified scales, any cargo tendered for shipment.
Any weight so ascertained by the Carrier shall be
deemed paramount and shall be used to compute freight
and additional charges regardless of any other
weight, certified or otherwise, declared or provided
by the Shipper or his agent. Shipper may however at
his own expense, seek independent certification of
the accuracy of any scales utilized by the Carrier.
b. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a measurement
unit basis ("M" or "M-ton") apply per cubic meter.
i. Freight and additional charges on shipments subject
to rates or charges stated on a measurement unit
basis will be computed on the overall measurement of
each piece, package or unit in the shipment. The
cubical content of each piece, package or other unit
shall be the extreme dimensions of the length, width
and height of such piece, package or unit.
ii. Before any other calculations are made all fractional
centimeter or inch dimensions will be disposed of as
follows:
1. All fractions of less than one-half centimeter/inch
shall be dropped.
2. All fractions of one-half centimeter/inch or more
shall be rounded up to the next full
centimeter/inch.
iii. When calculating the cube of any piece, package or
unit in a shipment, fractional cubic meters are to be
rounded off to the second decimal as follows:
fractions of less than .005 cubic meters are to be
dropped, fractions of .005 cubic meters or greater are
to be increased to the next higher second decimal. In
the case of multiple pieces, packages or units of like
dimensions, the cube on one package, calculated to the
sixth decimal, is to be multiplied by the total number
of like packages and the total cube so determined is
then to be rounded off to the second decimal as
specified above.
iv. When calculating freight and additional charges of
an irregular or unusually shaped piece, package or
unit, the 3 (three) greatest dimensions shall be used
as the rating measurements.
v. When calculating freight and additional charges of
Barrels, Casks, Kegs and Drums, measurements shall be
taken on the square of the bilge.
vi. When calculating freight and additional charges of
rolls and cylindrical pieces, packages or units, the
measurements are to taken on the square of the mean
diameter (i.e. averaging the diameter at the greatest
and least girth).
vii. Whenever an individual piece, package or other
shipping unit is tendered for transportation and it
is requested by Shipper, or is necessary because of
the nature of the cargo or its packaging, that no
cargo be stowed on top of same, Carrier will use the
maximum inside height dimension of the transporting
container as the height of the cargo when calculating
the freight or assessorial charges.
viii. Where rates named in this Tariff are stated on a
weight basis and apply ONLY when the measurement of
the cargo is not to exceed a stated cubic measurement
unit per a stated weight unit, the total measurement
of the commodity, subject to such limitation, moving
on a single B/L will be the used to determine the
applicable rate when calculating freight charges
instead of utilizing the measurement/weight ratio of
each individual piece, package or unit in the
shipment.
c. Rates and/or additional charges stated on an
alternating weight unit or measurement unit apply per
the weight or measurement unit, defined in paragraphs a.
or b. above, whichever produces the greatest revenue to
the Carrier.
d. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a per
container basis ("PC") apply per single container by
capacity and type as defined below:

unit or a maximum number of containers.
f. CORRECTIONS IN WEIGHT AND/OR MEASUREMENTS: All freight
and assessorial charges billed on the basis of weight
and/or measurement are in all cases SUBJECT to revision
and correction if the weights and/or measurements are
found to be incorrectly stated or declared regardless
of the party responsible for the original error.
