Filing Codes I

When a specific method, type or size of packing or
packaging is specified in an individual TLI (Rate Item)
named in this Tariff, such rate will ONLY apply on
shipments of the commodity so packed or packaged.
Additionally, all shipments will be SUBJECT to the
following packing and marking provisions:
     
a. All shipments tendered to Carrier for transportation
   MUST be packed in a manner that will insure safe
   transportation with ordinary care and due diligence on
   the part of the Carrier.  Such packing shall at least
   meet the standards set for shipping within the
   boundaries of the United States, and shall at least be,
   in the sole judgement of the Carrier, adequate to
   protect the cargo from damage during ordinary handling
   and ocean transportation, and to prevent damage to other
   cargo.  Carrier will assume no liability for any damage
   to cargo caused by negligent, improper or inadequate
   packing or packaging.  If Cargo packing, in the sole
   opinion of the Carrier, is inadequate, the Carrier, at
   its option, will refuse to transport the Cargo or
   repackage the Cargo prior to transport.  Repacking
   expenses and charges shall be for the account of the
   Cargo.
     
b. Except on FCL shipments SBJ to Rule 2.23 ("Shipper Load,
   Stow and Count"), shipments of Lumber and shipments of
   Cotton, baled, each individual piece, package, carton,
   bundle or unit included in a shipment MUST bear: Marks
   and Numbers, Place of Destination and Origin (including
   country), and the Name and Address of the Consignee,
   Shipper and notify party.  In the case of a shipment
   moving on an "Order Notify" B/L, or which is consigned
   "C.O.D.," each piece, package, carton, bundle or unit
   MUST also be marked accordingly.  The Carrier will NOT
   be responsible for Shipper's failure to observe the
   marking regulations of the destination country, NOR for
   the accuracy of Shipper furnished labels and/or
   information used to prepare such labels.
     
c. PAPER BAGS:
  1. All Cargo in Paper Bags MUST be accompanied by a
     supply of empty Bags (which will be transported at no
     charge) equal to 5% (five percent) of the number of
     Bags in the shipment.
    
  2. Paper Bags, which are used to contain any bulk
     commodity cargo such as cement, plaster, etc., as well
     as all empty Paper Bags, MUST be not less substantial
     than Type E.I.C.
    
d. Any single article, which, by its nature, may be shipped
   without danger of damage in ordinary handling while
   lacking boxing, crating or wrapping will be accepted as
   suitably packed for transportation when tendered to the
   Carrier without boxing, crating, wrapping or other
   packaging, SBJ to the provisions of Rule 2.10.

   Terminal Operartor will neither be liable for nor
   responsible for any loss, damage or non-operation of any

   or damage is directly due to the neglience or cause of

   Operatior.  Additionally, Carrier, Ship Owner,
   Steveadore and Terminal Operator will not be liable for
   loss and/or damage to any loose articles or cargo left
   in or packed inside vehicles at the time vehicle is
   tendered for transportation.  Shipper must separately
   tender such loose articles or cargo as a separate
   shipment which will be Transported on a separate B/L
   from the B/L covering the vehicle.
