Freight charges, assessorial charges, surcharges or other charges named
in this Tariff, or in any NRA or on any Web Rate Page in a Tariff
governed by this Tariff, 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, or on a Web Rate Page in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff,
   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, or on any Web
   Rate Page in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff 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 any governed Rate Tariff, to
   adjust the charges named in this Tariff, in an NRA or on a Web Rate
   Page in a Tariff governed by this Tariff, 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 will 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, or
   on a Web Rate Page in a Rate Tariff governed by this Tariff, 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 will NOT extend credit to Shippers, their Freight Forwarders,
   Consignees or Beneficial Cargo Owner.  All Freight and Charges,
   including Freight, Assessorials, Terminal and/or Advanced Charges shall
   be due upon presentation of rated Freight bills or invoices, whether
   prepaid or collect.
   
   If Freight or other Charges are NOT paid as specified herein:
   (i) the Carrier will require the delinquent party's Freight and 
   ssessorial Charges applying on shipments moving for the account of
   such party to 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; and
   (2) Carrier shall be charge the interest amount specified in Rule
   8 Paragraph 8(e) of Carrier's B/L Terms and Conditions on all past
   due amounts.
    
   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.
