Filing Codes I

When a specific method, type or size of packing or packaging is
specified in an individual NRA or Rate Tariff TLI governed by this
Tariff, such rate will ONLY apply on shipments of the commodity so
packed or packaged.  Additionally, all shipments will be SBJ 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.  Carrier will assume no
   liability for any damage to cargo caused by negligent,
   improper or inadequate packing or packaging.
     
b. Except on FCL shipments subject to Rule 2.23
   ("Shipper Load, Stow and Count") 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. 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.
