Freight charges, assessorial charges, surcharges or other charges named
in this Tariff, or in an individual NRA, including advanced charges, may
be prepaid or collect (see NOTE 1) at origin or destination, SBJ to the
provisions named herein.  However, regardless of whether B/L payment
status is prepaid or collect, the Shipper, his duly authorized Freight
Forwarder, Broker, the Consignee and the Beneficial Cargo Owner shall
be, and will remain, jointly and severally liable for all unpaid charges
and freight, including but not limited to, any sums advanced or
disbursed by the Carrier for the account of the cargo.  Further any
payment of freight or other charges to a freight forwarder, broker or
any other party other than directly to Carrier shall be not deemed
payment to the Carrier, unless and until such payment has been advanced
to Carrier.
   
NOTE 1: Shipments of the following commodities MUST be PREPAID in all
 instances:  Household Goods and Personal Effects.
    
a. All Freight and additional Charges named in this Tariff, or in any
   NRA, are due and considered earned upon receipt of the cargo by the
   originating Carrier, or his agent, and shall be paid to the carrier
   without discount or deduction, whether the Ship and/or Cargo is lost
   or not lost, transportation is interrupted or abandoned, whether the
   Cargo is damaged or ruined, or whether packages or containers are
   delivered empty or partly empty at destination.
    
b. Rates and Charges named in this Tariff, or in any NRA, are quoted in
   U.S. Currency, unless otherwise noted, and have been determined with
   due consideration to the relationship of U.S. Currency to any other
   currencies involved.  In the event of any material deterioration in
   the exchange value of U.S. Currency, the Carrier reserves the right,
   upon publication in this Tariff, or by amendment to an individual NRA,
   to change the rates named therein to remove any adverse effect in
   conformity with the U.S. Shipping Act of 1984, as amended, and SBJ to
   the regulations of the Federal Maritime Commission issued pursuant
   thereto.  Rates named in NRAs SBJ hereto may be SBJ to this Rule only
   in compliance with FMC regulations governing NRAs.
   
c. When Freight and other Charges named in this Tariff, or in an NRA, are
   paid in foreign countries, Carrier will accept payment in a foreign
   currency provided it is freely convertible.  When payment is effected
   in other than U.S. Currency, currency conversion shall be calculated
   on the basis of the highest official bank selling rate of exchange as
   quoted on the official exchange for the currency involved on the day
   shipment is tendered to the originating Carrier.
    
d. The payment status of any B/L may NOT be changed or altered once
   transportation service of Cargo has commenced (e.g. "prepaid"
   shipments cannot be changed to "collect" shipments and likewise
   "collect" shipments cannot be changed to "prepaid" shipments)
   without the express approval of the Carrier.
    
e. Carrier or its duly authorized Agent, will, upon request of the
   Shipper, Freight Forwarder, Consignee or Beneficial Cargo Owner,
   extend credit to the party listed in the B/L as responsible for the
   payment of Freight and Charges, in amounts not to exceed Freight,
   Assessorials, Terminal and/or Advanced Charges.  The credit period
   shall be 30 (thirty) days from the date of delivery of Cargo in the
   case of collect shipments or from the date Cargo is tendered to
   originating Carrier in the case of prepaid shipments.
   
   If Freight or other Charges are NOT paid within the credit period
   specified herein, the Carrier will cancel the delinquent party's
   credit privileges after which time ALL Freight and Assessorial
   Charges applying on shipments moving for the account of such party
   MUST be paid in cash, cashier's check or money order at the time, or
   prior to the time, Cargo is tendered to originating Carrier for
   transportation.
    
   If any party responsible for the payment of charges fails or refuses
   to pay lawful Freight and/or other Charges due as specified above,
   the Carrier shall be entitled to recover all collection costs
   incurred, including but not limited to, reasonable collection agency
   fees, attorneys' fees and court costs.
