When a specific method, type or size of packing or packaging is
specified in an individual NRA, or on a Web Rate Page in a Rate
Tariff 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.1. 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.
      
  2. Vehicles, new or used, not in containers, will be
     received and accepted for transportation without
     boxing, crating, wrapping or other packaging.  However
     Carrier will NOT perform or provide technical
     inspection and/or check of Vehicle's inside or
     outside equipment and/or accessories.  Therefore,
     Carrier will neither be liable for, nor responsible
     for, any loss, damage or non-operation of any
     Vehicle's equipment and/or accessories unless such
     loss or damage is directly due to the neglience or
     cause of the Carrier.
           
     Additionally, Carrier will not be liable for loss
     and/or damage to any loose articles or cargo left in,
     on or packed inside Vehicles at the time vehicle is
     tendered for transportation.  When such cargo is left
     in/on Vehicle for simultaneous transportation to
     destination, Shipper agrees to be bound by the terms
     and conditions named in Rule 10.62, and to pay the 
     additional "Cargo In Vehicle" Surcharge provided
     therein.
   
d. CARGO SHIPMENTS CONTAINING CONIFER WOOD PACKAGING:
   All Cargo exported from U.S. Ports and Points MUST
   comply with ISPM-15 standards for Wood Product marking
   and treatment.  Goods should not be packed in/on conifer
   wood containers, unless the containers are heat treated
   at a temperature of 56 degrees Celsius or higher for a
   minimum of 30 continuous minutes, or have been treated
   by other means approved by the relevant authority of the
   destination country, including fumigation or treatment
   with Methyl Bromide. Goods packed in/on conifer wood
   containers MUST also be marked on all four (4) sides of
   the container to certify treatment in accordance with
   the ISPM-standareds. If the cargo is packed in/on wooden
   containers made from wood other than conifer wood, or
   packed in/on non-wood containers, Shipper MUST submit
   relevant documents indicating such case.  If Shipper
   fails to comply with these regulations, or fails to
   provide the required documentation, and as a result
   cargo is held, quarantined or otherwise delayed at
   destination or via ports en route to destination,
   Shipper shall remain liable for, and hold Carrier
   harmless from, all charges incurred for demurrage,
   detention, inspection, unpacking, repacking, treatment,
   dismantling and/or material disposal.
