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, 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 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, unit or vehicle in the shipment.  The
     cubical content of each piece, unit or vehicle
     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, unit or vehicle,
     the 3 (three) greatest dimensions shall be used as the
     rating measurements.
     
  v. 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.
     
e. Rates and/or additional charges stated on a lumpsum basis
   apply per a single complete unit, vehicle or shipment not
   exceeding a specified maximum weight or measurement
   unit.
     
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.
